I 3D, You 3D, Everybody 3D!

So, here is the thing... you take 2 pictures, 3inches apart from each other. Upload them to this website, and they do Voodoo Pc Magic and turn it into a Glasses-Free 3D Photo in a small animation. Most results are pretty snazzy, although some have artifacts.

This is actually a little fun thing to mess around with, and can take our Camwhoring thread into whole new levels!

Here, have some examples

If that is anything like what depth perception feels like, I am glad I don't experience it.

I thought this would make some of those neat side-by-side pictures where you cross your eyes and see a 3D image. See, because most people have a hard time seeing it, whereas I'm rather good at it. Everybody would be like, "I can't see it; it's hard to focus," and I'd be like, "It looks fine to me, maybe you should get better at crossing your eyes."

But that's not what this is. It's just dumb tweened .gif files. Boo, Bells. Boo for getting my hopes up.

[synkr0nized]

Exactly.

I want technology like in the Esper machine in Blade Runner to navigate throughout still images.

I've seen stuff like this before, it's neat. I actually made a few by hand to play around with, since I thought it was really cool, but I don't have them anymore.

right above the picture, there is a button writen "cross eyed"

Phil... it's like... right the fucking there man... like, right there!

You are not cross eyed enough! Also, i know it's not the same thing, but the option is there... also has buttons to apply those red/blue filters. Works nice with the little silly 3d Glasses i have here, it's 3D in 3D...

....it's like 3D² !

Oh, would you look at that. That's much better.

Edit for below: :dance:

I suck at crossing my eyes, I can't stop focusing near my head instead of the picture D:

[Sithdarth]

I'm so good at crossing my eyes that I can use those old school 3d topographic maps without the special glasses. Sometimes I end up seeing them in reverse which is neat in and of itself.

Yay 4d (http://home.comcast.net/~eswab/hcubenv.htm)These objects appear perfectly viable in three-dimensional space. I don't get it. Help me get it.

[Sithdarth]

Think of it this way when you draw a cube on a sheet of paper there is always once fact of the cube that's behind all the other faces. If the cube you draw was opaque you wouldn't be able to see that face. Likewise in these pictures there is a face, its actually an entire cube as instead of 6 squares making a cube you have 8 cubes making a hypercube, that is hidden that you can't see. Unlike the 2D to 3D projection there really is no good way to project that last cube even into 3D space. So while what you're seeing looks fine you simply don't have the cognitive ability (nor does anyone) to truly comprehend the figure from a 4 dimensional perspective. There is also the point that what you think is the inside and what you think is the outside of those figures is almost definitely wrong.

Edit: Oh and all those places where you see the lines crossing. Yeah those don't actually go through each other. They actually pass over/under each other in the 4th dimension.

Hypercube was a terrible movie.
