3D Week - Channel 4

[steve9872]

The cinema ones won't work as it's a different 3D coding apparently.

They are the Blue and Amber ones. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscop ... _method.29

I have a pair of blue/amber specs from the Chuck episode in 3D. All I can say about them is 3D in the left eye and semi-blind in the right, at least that was how it was for me. Not a nice experience! I tried turning them around and it was worse.

ohh am going to have to pick up some glasses, both Friday the 13th Part III and Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert are sure to be on in the house. is there a limit on the number of glasses you can pick up?

I went to my local Sainsburys today and you can help yourself to as many glasses as you need!

Aww my Sainsburys dont have them yet I asked one member of staff and he told me "sorry, we dont sell 3D glasses here, try Toys R us?"...what the...

I've picked up some glasses finally, from a branch in Brixton. Other branches appeared to have run out fast but in Brixton they still have many because you need to ask the staff specifically for them. So if anyone in SE London has any difficulty obtaining them, try there. Others can call up each branch in your vicinity using this link. They are all local rate phone numbers too so can use your free minutes.

I have set 3D as a keyword on my Media Center recorder to record all the 3d shows! I watched the Queen in 3D last night. Was actually a good documentary about how 2 men captured the Queen's coronation not only in colour but in 3D but was never seen until now! The 3D stuff of the Queen was actually pretty cool but I still stand by the fact that 3D is just a novelty and should not be used extensively to serve a full length live action feature film. Its great for these type of documentaries and theme park attractions though.

Was too sleepy to watch Derren Brown 3D though so will try catch watch that tonight.

Already Tuesday and I still haven't got any glasses - I'm going to miss this experience. Please keep us all up to date with the programmes and let us know if they were any better in 3D.

If anyone misses the 3d shows, Channel4 are showing them online for 30 days!
