I know it was probably a slight misstatement, but some minor corrections. Red Green color blindness affects around 7% of males ³to some extent.² This affliction, like hearing loss, isn¹t always total and does not uniformly eliminate the successful of red/blue lens based 3d processes in film (black and white based mostly) and magazines. I have a R/GCB friend who can make it out just fine (he was our accessibility engineer for several years.) By way of trivia, a odd recent development/modification of the printing process for R/B lenses finds it being used in a number of color books as well, most recently Final Crisis: Superman Beyond ( http://www.swell3d.com/2008/09/new-3d-comic-final-crisis-supe.html) used it. However, red/green color blindness should not be a factor in the preferable (IMHO) polarized lens process. By the way, promotion of this has been pretty good on NBC, I wouldn¹t expect other channels to promote it. In fact, hang on to your glasses for Monday¹s episode of Chuck, which is also broadcast in 3D. http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/01/03/3d-glasses-for-super-bowl-and-chuck/101 50 Cheers, -Ric From: Julie Porter <[email protected]> Reply-To: <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 01 Feb 2009 09:59:15 -0800 To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Basfa] 3d Glasses I did a search on that term, I see now, I was wrong. The reason I posted was to give a simple way of making Pulfrich glasses by using modified sunglasses. This I now learn, will not work with the new patented (patents==greed) system. It was not speculation. I have a bunch of 3d images on my website using the red blue glasses. Pulfrich has been around for a long time. It is not compatible with the theater projection systems. So when I hear that a non compatible system is being promoted it sets the alarm bells off. The number of exiting 3d formats, generates a lot of confusion. The promotion on this has been rather bad. Perhaps because I do not watch TV. I have not seen this discussed much in any of the mainstream "news" forums, hearing about this only yesterday. Perhaps that is the intent. To wow an ignorant public with more noise. 3D is a fad that has a 20 or so year cycle to it. A significant portion of the population (mostly male) can not see it.[*] Ironically, that is the demographic which they attempt to sell it into. -julie [*] Search for the work on how the brain sees depth by Bela Julez.
