I saw this Gizmodo article a week ago, but forgot to post here... Did you guys know YouTube supports 3D?!?!?!

Here's an example:

This capability has been live for nearly a year, and I JUST heard about it!

Apparently, you upload videos as always, but put your eye views in two separate files, and YouTube processes as usual. Then, YouTube has added a bunch of functionality for various 3D viewing methods, so cross-eyed or parallel display, anaglyph, interlacing, etc...

I don't have two identical cameras of any kind, nor any way to view besides glasses or crossing my eyes ( Wink

), but if somebody does, I thought it might be fun to play around with - if you knew about it!

I put it in the HTPC forum because I know a few guys here have computer setups with 3D display drivers and glasses. If you do, and you try this, let us know how/if it works!

Cheers,
SC

Yes I did know that. Cool isn't it?

I watched a few a couple months ago. Seriously cool. You can put on the projector and go full screen, not too bad. Most video's I watched were pretty low resolution though. Looks like more and more all the time, so there should be some neat HD ones soon.

Wonder if there's a way to use my old nvidia LCD shutter glasses?
