3D for people who can't see 3D (2D-3D experiment)
9 years ago
General
So you know what's been eating away at the back of my brain since I started converting art to 3D? Around 20% of the population can't see 3D images! I'm not certain of how accurate that figure is, but definitely a lot of people have some sort of eye condition resulting in "stereoblindness." Usually because of the eyes not aligning properly to provide normal depth perception.
I imagine the Internet once provided a nice place for them to forget about the condition, with computer monitors and devices being almost always completely 2-dimensional (did anyone buy a 3D PC monitor back when they were introduced? I sure didn't)
Then jackasses like me come along with all our 3D and VR and stereoscopic, anaglyph, interocular convergences and remind them about it all over again and make them feel left out! Well screw that situation! I am not okay with that! I refuse to make anyone feel left out if I can do anything to prevent it!
So I had this idea!:

What do you think? I'm looking for feedback from anyone! Not just those who can't see regular 3D.
It's certainly not without it's disadvantages. The most obvious problems are the tops and bottoms which show obvious gaps in the image (Edit: Those are now fixed). If anyone likes these I will try to fix future conversions so that won't happen. But other than that they kinda, sorta, almost, maybe work? Do they? I don't know. Maybe nobody will be interested in these versions at all, but I thought I'd throw them out there and see what you thought.
So what do you think? Any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I'd like to a see a .gifv format linked in the description though, FA compression works a number on them.
.gifv?? Aaagh! An image/video format I haven't heard of!! I spend way too much time thinking about file formats and nerdy stuff like that, so normally I've heard of them all, but not that one! My life is a lie!! :S
;) Thank you for letting me know about the format! I will look into it and hopefully I can provide versions like that. Thanks! Please see my note to you!
And I don't think anyone cares about these gaps. Certainly not me at least.
Of course again I managed to put my foot directly into my mouth again, I do that a lot, and it's not even a fetish I have; I really hope you didn't take offense at my reference to "jackasses like me"! I was thinking of two people specifically when I said that: me, because I'm a convenient target to blame, and James Cameron for making Avatar and making people think 3D movies should be ubiquitous. I definitely did not mean to put down or diminish your work or anyone's stereogram work! You've been doing it for a lot longer than I have after all! And most all artists are leaving out blind people so my strange "leaving people out" argument didn't really make any sense. I want to edit journal... but must resist urge to self-censor...
But thank you for the feedback on the gaps! I didn't know whether they would really bother people or not. It has a must stranger effect on lei-lani's conversion because it makes it look like the world is a stage set and you can see the holes in the painted background or something world-breaking like that! But if it doesn't bother you hopefully it won't bother too many other people!
Again, thank you so much Syca!
