maxflinn:how did avatar work in the cinema then ?? no polarizing filter there , just a big white sheet of , well whatever its made of ..
...And images projected alternately with different polarisation, either with twin image sources or a lens able to switch polarisation. Oh, and a silvered screen. As I explained
in my Technicolor blog report, the company has developed a split lens and polariser system enabling conventional 35mm film stock and projectors to be used to show 3D movies, in order to increase the number of cinemas able to show 3D movies. But again this involves polarisation and will give a lower image quality than dedicated 3D projection hardware.
but a player could do all of that for a tv , once there is a constant image on screen , not two images as in the active system , then i cant see how it couldnt be somehow portrayed on a regular tv , or , at the very least , why tvs couldnt just have a polarizing filter option , that you could choose when buying , at small cost , a passive 3d ready tv if you like , or even get retro fitted at small cost over your screen , 60in 3d kuro anyone ?? .. i understand the xtra cost is somewhat merited with the active system , but passive , arent we virtually there already ??
