Hey Phil, why don’t you call James Cameron and tell him to stop calling it Avatar 3d LOL! (And technically stereo is 2 angles.) Oh and @ the person who’s going to call in the Feds if they can’t get 2D TV LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!! Wow lots of funny ones here.

Hey Phil:

These are not 3D. They are *stereo*. Big difference. If they were 3D, you could observe the subject matter from more than one angle. Stereo images are still one angle, just like a 2D image. This is the same technology the Viewmaster was using in the 1950′s, and others even before that. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. If for no other reason than when you see a *real* 3D display, you won’t have anything left to call it.

I see a runner being tagged at second base on the piece on the left – and from the positions of the runner and the second baseman, the runner was attempting to steal third.

I just remembered that I have an old copy of 3-D Star Maps on my bookshelves, which came with two anaglyph specs tucked inside.

I prefer the crossed eye type 3d photos. The only equipment required is two working eyes. No further monetary expenditures necessary.

You can get blue/red glasses with the DVD of “Fly Me To The Moon” too – a kids’ movie about Apollo 11.

Glad everyone’s liking the pics on my blog – thanks for the plug, Phil! Anyone wanting cheap 3D glasses: go into your local discount bookstore and take a look at the kids section, where you’ll find at least one kids “3D Book Of Dinosaurs!” or “…Bugs!” that comes with one or more sets of 3D glasses.
