[@starwarscentral]

As someone who has worked in projection for quite some time now, the vast majority of movie theaters don't use dual projector setups to screen 3D content, they actually use a single projector with a polarizing screen placed in front of the lens. This is done for a number of reasons, primarily cost, but it also comes with a heap of downsides including severe brightness reduction and also flattening of the colours. 3D fell out of fashion both because it was somewhat gimmicky, outside of standout titles like Avatar, most films used it poorly (looking at you bad Marvel 3D conversions). It also fell out of fashion due to the lack of consumer interest. Whilst the audience might not be able to immediately notice and describe the downsides, they knew that it wasn't as visually impressive as they remembered (due to the colour and brightness constraints). Dual projector setups are almost always superior for projecting 3D content. It's a shame that they fell out of fashion. This DIY equivalent is awesome and it's nice to see a little more interest in projection!

The same approach can be used to create a full virtual environment (CAVE).

[@jp_8988]

I used to have the 3D-vision glasses in the past. It’s a very different experience. But to make this technology more available for most people you should consider creating the same 3D experience (video and game) but with a VR-headset and compare the differences. A VR-headset has everything to give perfect stereoscopic vision and the passthrough view would make it possible to have a virtual screen, as big as you want, in 3D while outside of that seeing everting in your room. Being it the popcorn, the mouse and keyboard or a controller. Honestly I don’t understand why VR-companies don’t invest some of their resources into that. It would open so much more possibilities and games that it would be interesting to a way bigger market, a gateway drug to real VR. Even the people who don’t really want to use VR will then have a good use for a VR-headset. Now there is a good use case for using a VR-headset without needing a full room to jump and walk around. So for sure consider investigating that and comparing it with a setup like this. Cost, nausea (wonder if it’s less then VR and how it compares with shutter-glasses), ease of use/ setup and the possibility to get banned form a game for cheating because the anti-cheat software does not like it…

To minimize the effect of cross-talk (ghosting), the source 3D left and right images are actually incorrect, generating a different pitched view to each eye which causes headaches and makes the 3D results a bad uncomfortable experience. If one were to eliminate the cross-talk issue completely, then the source left and right images for each eye can be properly rendered.

With a stronger push for VR/AR glasses/headsets, Apple Vision, etc., we *can* expect a revival of 3D "theater" content sooner than later. Projectors are neat, too. It's great sharing 3D experiences with friends/family. I wanted to do 3D last year, so I found 3D-enabled DLP-link (active shutter) projectors for cheap online, and some cheap shutter glasses on AliExpress, and while the projector(s) were only 1080p, and not super bright (supposedly 4000nits on this UST thing I found, but that's effectively halved when doing 3D), 3D movies are still a lot of fun to watch wit my kid/on my own. ... Diminishing returns, of course, as always, since simply being able to watch a thing at all, on any screen, is 98% of the experience/joy. But it's still neat, and if you've got nothing better to do, 3D is a worthwhile experiment to delve into.

0:20 one of the rare occurances where ".... at home" is probably the better experience

The first thought I got, when I saw the power of polarisation on this video - have you tried polarisation filters for lenses? (I've got no idea, if it's anywhere close in terms of quality or "specs", but from a physics perspective it must be literally the same thing and actually not bad probably cheaper solution (you can get glasses with filter screws)(depending on the manufacturer and costs...))

You should mount the screen to the ceiling on hinges so you can fold it up / drop it down, couple catches for the bottom and a stop / shock absorbers to prevent it swinging into the tv. The other thing that might help is flipping one of the projectors upside down and mounting them next to each other mimicking pupil distance and gettign l/r the correct way around.

I cannot believe Linus actually made it work 😀 I spent a looot of time trying to play 3D movies on a regular PC via projector with active glasses. You would think it is easy to do, but ever since nVidia stopped officialy supporting 3D, It took quite some searching as how to do this on 3070 with the newest drivers.

I need a nap after watching you do all this work

[@verebellus]

I would suggest doing what the do with 3d cameras, aligning the projectors with a one way mirror, so one projector points at the mirror and one through

What's interesting is some of the Sony Bravia line TVs say they only support the active 3D glasses but actually work with real 3D glasses from the theater

That music when Elijah fell was golden😂

I remember seeing some good 3D back in the day.. Few Amusement parks had 3D stuff and it was so good ! I remember my sister smacking fish that were flying towards us

Linus Tech Theatre in Linus Tech Town ?!?! LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

[@chickassin5402]

At this point, the theater room should just have its own channel

[@DoubleO7-11]

Really wish 3D televisions would come back already 😎

I love how little man is just perpetually unimpressed 🤣

Ah reminds me of my youth "dad can we do ?" My dad would reply " yes son later". this is later
