Planet Earth in Stereoscopic 3D (yt3d:enable=true)

12 Sep

************* PLEASE RATE 5 STARS ************* This is 2D converted to 3D. The amazing thing is, this isn’t fake at all. I’ll explain: Timeshifting is a technique for converting certain 2D clips to 3D. The main requirements for timeshifted 3D: — the camera must be moving sideways — there must be little to no activity/life occurring onscreen It’s very simple to understand why it works. 3D requires 2 slightly different viewpoints- a left and a right eye perspective. Our eyes are spaced apart by about 2 inches, so to do 3D with a camera you’d take a photo, then step 2 inches to the side, and take another. To achieve 3D by timeshifting a 2D video, find a clip that meets the requirements listed above. Say the camera’s moving left- video frame 1 would serve as the right eye in a stereoscopic photo, and frame 2 or later would the left eye. You could jump to, say, frame 10 or futher if you want a stronger 3D effect in the end. Once you’ve decided how many frames you want the left and right eye spaced apart, you set up two copies of the same clip side by side and delay one of them by that amount of frames. You’ll know which clip to delay because delaying the wrong one will make the 3D effect look very ugly. The effect will last as long as the camera in the video is maintaining its sideways trajectory.
Video Rating: 5 / 5

For best viewing, watch the video in 480p and fullscreen modes. Tosee the images in 3D, hold your head up straight (very important or the two images won’t line up properly), look at the vertical center line and cross your eyes. The 3D image will appear in the center. If you don’t see the 3D picture right away, keep trying, it takes a bit of practice.
