The Future of Cinema - 'Real' 3D

GunSlinger writes "The IGN movies site is running a story on an old movie concept seeing a resurgence. 3D movies are making a cinematic comeback via new, more sophisticated techniques. Yes, you still wear glasses. No you don't get a headache. Yes, the effect is fantastic. This story looks at the technology, past and future projects, and why just about every major studio is now planning in three dimensions. 'There is indeed a revolution in cinema taking place. It's quietly slipped under the radar of most technophiles, beginning its assault on the way we consume media clothed in thoroughly unassuming garb -- the Disney Digital 3-D film, Meet the Robinsons ... no, we don't blame you for being skeptical. Most people in their mid-20s or later think of 3-D movies from the old school perspective -- goofy red and blue coloured glasses, strained eyes, possible migraines. And most importantly, a so-so 3-D effect. No more.'"

Don't second guess if you haven't seen the movie!

I saw Meet the Robinsons in 3D the other week.

Shoddy glasses?
The glasses were not paper/cardboard. They looked like plastic sunglasses.

Already wearing glasses?
I wear corrective glasses and the 3d glasses fit fine over them.

Can't move your head?
No, you don't have to keep your head still. You can turn your head without bluring or motion sickness.

The 3d effect is stunning. This is miles beyond the old cardboard red/blue glasses.
