3D Video
A great, easy to understand(ish) primer on the reason VR looks so pixelated.
AEXA Aerospace of Houston, Texas USA is embracing the Microsoft HoloLens to create 3D holographic representations of hardware and intuitive procedures to help streamline training and operations aboard the International Space Station. As of 2017 Microsoft says that HoloLens sales are in the thousands, admittedly a small number. However with companies like AEXA embracing the product, is a developer market for high quality content far off? What do you think?
One of the cool things about NASA is that in the last 10 years they have become a little less anal about their work product. They have opened an entire resource library dedicated to 3D visualizations. Everything from highly realistic graphic 3D models of the Eta Carinae Homunculas nebula (Clearly they are still working on creating cool names for space stuff) to an exact topographical map of the mars surface including rover paths which can be 3D printed.

As of 2017, 3D TVs are dead and are no longer being manufactured for the U.S. market. Find out why 3D TVs have been discontinued, and what lies ahead.
Stumbled on this 3D fireworks display from 3Dn3D. None of the explosive kinds, but it's definitely worth a look for the effect. You'll need red/blue glasses to see it.
Stumbled on this 3D video compiled for what looks like a number of different ocean aquariums. The quality is excellent, but make sue you select 1080p for resolution if your player doesn't default to that. Oh - and you need your red/blue glasses.
Happy Easter. Here's a Full Color Anaglyph 3D movie called Big Buck Bunny.
Here's a cute, short 3D CGI video from the Animation Workshop about a struggling med student and his new roommate....Who turns out to be a zombie.
Like Monkey's, Pianos, 3D and CGI? This should be one for you then.
Stumbled on this fractal movie by Arthur Stammet that he created for the created a for the Fractalforums.com Annual Fractal Art Competition. No 3D glasses needed.
Optometry Australia says small children should not watch films and TV in 3D, because it could make the under sixes feel headachy, tired and nauseous, and how it could impact their eyes in the long term was still unknown.
Here's a short 3D Movie from Aenima.hu. It's the story of a lost baby T-Rex, Rexy, finding his way in an unsafe world. The animation is excellent - though the voice of the T-Rex did wear on me a tad. You'll need your red/blue glasses to view this in 3D.
Our friend Jeff Boller, AKA "Simple Carnival" has released a nice video from his 3D for Kids workshop. For those of you new to 3D or want to learn more about the technology, Jeff has a great presentation that gets quite in depth while still easy enough for kids to understand.
Here is a cool 3D Anaglyph video from our friend William Turner, a.k.a. 3DMovieMan. There is some DEEP 3D in here, be advised!
This display can be controlled in 3D space using a Leap Motion controller, as well as show you full 360 degree images. Pretty wild, and only $30! Check out their IndieGoGo campaign inside.
Here's a Youtube version of the 1999 IMAX movie Galapagos: The Enchanted Voyage.
This is worth checking out on a Wednesday. Lee Mansis pieced together a 3D compilation of pole dancing (yes!) and aerial hoop dancing (YES!) for what he thinks is the definitive tribute. I'm not saying it completely safe for work either, so wait until you get home... Or at least turn the sound down.
What do you get when you cross a GoPro Hero 2, a Quadcopter, classical music and 3D? Something awesome.
Hungry Birds, Angry Birds, just Birds - whatever. Heres some birds in 3D.
The new trend of 3D projection mapping has been used on many buildings, DJ booths, and even cars... but how about a mannequin?
Click to watch the official movie trailer for Turbo in 3D! This little snail gets some super-powered speed in an action packed comedy.
Here is a montage from a holographic 3D project by Tim Jockel. It includes live captured moments and some behind-the-scene-shots. Theres some really cool footage, stay with me here!
We posted a really cool 3D picture of this rally car yesterday, and now we found some HD 3D video of it! Enjoy.
