I love going to the movies. I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of it. Now that we have 3D movies I’m like a little kid in a candy store. You don’t have to twist my arm to get me to experience the joys of a well made 3D experience. Fortunately I have four little girls who also like an outing to the movie theater and enjoy a good 3D film as much as the next person and not just movies made for girls either.
3D movies work by making sure each eye sees a different image to the other, both taken from a slightly different perspective.
As each eye perceives the world from a slightly different perspective due to them being about 2 inches apart this effectively mimics the way we see the real world and creates a more realistic 3D image on a 2D screen. Every 3D image or movie you view uses this same principle but may go about it in a slightly different manner.
