When I was a kid I went to Alton Towers and saw a polarised 3d video- I found it amazing, intense and magical so when Avatar came out years later I was hyped.
However when I saw Avatar, although impressed with the film in general, the effects wents straight over my head. I discovered I was 'stereo-blind' and could not perceive 3d at all.
This was pretty gutting as I'd had such a great experience with it as a kid and had heard 3dtv was around the corner. I played with lots of anagyph 3d on youtube with no success to be certain.
I'm very long-sighted(+4/+6) have Astigmatism (oval-shaped eyeballs) and Amblyopia (lazy-eye)- so it was perhaps to be expected. When I went to my eye doctor and asked about it they laughed and said it would be pretty much impossible for me to percieve 3d. I persisted.
I practiced trying not ignoring my lazy eye and went from never using it to being able to summon double vision at any time but not quite line them up right. Tried some 3dtvs in a shop still no joy.
Anyway recently after some mild success with Anaglyph I decided to buy a 3dtv to practice watching 3d on as it wasn't much extra to get a tv with 3d than one without I went for a Samsung 40" D6100 for £595.
After just a weekend with this tv watching a couple of 3d blurays and healthy amount of Wipeout 3dHD on Ps3 and Batman in 3d on PC It is working incredibly well for me- whats more real life looks a LOT more 3d to me.
The point of this blog is just to let people know who have eyes like mine, who would like to see 3d effects that I strongly feel it is posslbe with no more than the four P's I use to get better at guitar- Practice, Patience, Perseverience and more Practice.
Don't give up- It is worth it, Batman Arkham Asylmn looks unbelieveably good in 3d!
Heres a decent Anaglyph (red/cyan glasses) 3d to test yourself with.

If you have a 3dtv use this one click the 3d button on the player, choose 'other options' then 'side to side' then press the 3d button on your tv remote and choose 'side to side'

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
All i've ever gotten from anything in 3d is headaches, example the last 3d movie i saw was jackass 3d... i saw a mega headache after the first 30 minutes. 3D is just not for me, i've tried other movies before that but the same happens. I tried playing Killzone 3 and Cod Black ops in 3d as well but sadly same effect.
Congratulations, that's amazing. There's so much hate for 3D around it's hard to imagine someone using it to create such a positive effect on their lives.
Thanks for proving that, even though the hate from people who feel neglected because they can't view/afford the technology is overly vocal, good things can come of it.
