3D viewing and creating

^This looks nice! The photo of Freddie doesn't work because both of the sides look to be taken from the same angle. your photo works perfectly well.

Thanks, I used an online converter for the Freddie image and I don't think it worked at all.
I really can't understand how a single 2D PHOTO can be made to look 3D anyway.
Have you come across any 2D to 3D image convertors that seem to work, even slightly?
I'm still looking.

Pretty much my point.

Not really.
The first post you replied to concerned video, which can be manipulated to give a 3d effect (as already discussed).
There is also software out there which claims to do the same with a single 2d image, quite a different matter.
Are you saying the technology does not exist?

I'm saying it's not real 3D, unless it's made with the proper instruments. Taking a "2D" picture or video and turn it 3D with some trickery doesn't make it 3D. Simple as that. :D

I have a copy of the Bohemian Rhapsody promo video (interlaced) which is labelled ''3D field sequential Depthmap''. Does anyone know what equipment is needed to view it properly? Screen shot:

I could argue that even if it's "filmed in 3D", it's still not "real 3D".
A cinema screen is flat and two dimensional, and glasses are required to complete the "illusion" or "trickery".
I'm not saying the result isn't better, because I already said it is.
At the end of the day it's still a 3D "effect" though.

But then there is Hollywood, but i never went to see any converted 3D movies. New ones or re-releases like Titanic or Jurassic Park. As for the method used on the Queen Budapest video, it's the same as this. But it works far better on this kind of shots With fixed camera shots, i really think people shouln'd bother converting it using the same method.

But it's not the same method, the Budapest clip in post #1 is SBS? I viewed the Pink Floyd film with my nvidia anaglyph (red/cyan blue) glasses, it's not a bad effort and looks quite good in some parts. There are other types of anaglyph 3D glasses, I have some Nuoptix ones that work great with this 3D Doctor Who 1993 BBC special "Dimensions In Time". The beauty of this video is that it also looks fine in 2D without any glasses. I also have some ColorCode (amber/blue) 3D glasses (issued by channel 4 in the UK) they worked quite well with their 3D broadcasts.

I converted the SBS image I created and I'm quite pleased how my Avometer model 7 from 1948 looks in red/cyan anaglyph. I have just discovered the exact same model appears in the first episode of the new Doctor Who series - spooky!

I remember when the Doctor who one aired, you could make your own glasses by remove a lense from a pair of sunglasses.

That doesn't work nearly as well as the proper Nuoptix glasses though.

I have just watched the NASA IMAX film on the Hubble telecope in red/cyan anaglyph, and it looks pretty impressive. 1080p screen capture:

Another Queen related red/cyan anaglyph:

This looks great wearing my Nvidia 3D vision glasses.
