Remember those awesome 3-D glasses we got as kids? The ones that entice us to watch those TV shows and read those awesome books until our eyes get sore from too much 3-D. But seriously, can you imagine a YouTube where we have options for watching our favorite videos in 3-D? How awesome can that get?
According to the ever-reliable Wikipedia, “Stereoscopy, stereoscopic imaging or 3-D (three-dimensional) imaging is any technique capable of recording three-dimensional visual information or creating the illusion of depth in an image. The illusion of depth in a photograph, movie, or other two-dimensional image is created by presenting a slightly different image to each eye.”
So if you have one of those nifty 3-D glasses, why don’t you head on over to this video, and try it out? You’ll see a drop-down that includes some options for red/cyan and amber/blue 3D glasses and some options that don’t require glasses.
So now we can actually get to see a 3-D YouTube. Okay, not now of course, but YouTube is testing the feature. To enable the 3D player, you need to add the following tag to one of your videos: yt3d:enable=true. Pete, a Google employee, has more information about this experimental feature:
I’m the developer working on the stereoscopic player as a 20% project. It’s currently very early, hence the silly bugs like swapping the eyes for the anaglyph modes. A fix for this is in the works.
The current tags are provisional and may change or expand. They are:
yt3d:enable=true Enables the view mode.
yt3d:aspect=3:4 Sets the aspect of the encoded video.
yt3d:swap=true Swaps the left and right sources. You may need to add this to videos when the player with fixed anaglyph modes ships.
