Ghetto 3D display
Saw a presentation today about 3D visualization, where they had a real funky off-the-shelf 3D display setup:
- 2 projectors
- polarizing lenses
- polarized glasses (none of that red-green crap)
- screen
One eye sees vertically polarized light, the other horizontally, and the result actually looks 3D… ish. Once they get the two pictures to properly overlap, that is. The 2D interface and mouse cursor are kind of distracting. But all in all it’s pretty nifty.
Such a waste to use this stuff for medical visualizations. Would work much better for games and of course rule 34.
