What about something like this?

This is a flash app, but I have seen it done (better) with an animated gif and a couple of pix.

Not that this helps, but 3D glasses aren't red/blue anymore. They're polarized. My question was, "won't this dim the picture", but apparently they already thought of that, because the picture is shown extra-bright.

Blast! I really want to get a digital camera, shoot a text game that has left and right eye photos, and then use the red and blue thing for a 3D effect.

I was hoping the one net positive to our culture that Avatar could give us was pre-loading the red and blue 3D glasses for everyone.

But no.

They have an audio version as well, but it's not nearly as impressive. It consists of me sitting next to you going, "THAT GUY IS CLOSER THAN THE OTHER GUY."

good joke on the 2d thing.

I still want to see it trippin. Anyone got some good L? <----EVIL!!!!!!!

I seen it last weekend in 3D. It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen in a movie theater. The plot is hackneyed, the characters two-dimensional (IRONY?) and clunky, but it matters naught.

Astounding!!

Spoiler Watch: It includes no Celie Dion songs!

Milker, that was an excellent post. You're bringing the wood around here lately! You're working out your body AND your mind.

The video games are not that bad. Iphone game is playable and held my attention for a little while.

I thought the movie was great. Given the king of the world made the film, I felt apart of his royal court while watching it.

I just miss Celine Dion songs in the movie. I need a song to hear for 2 years after the movie came out to remind me of the movie.

Neeearrrr, Farrrrr, AVVVVAVVVATTTTTTT ARRRRRR, My heart will go on!

I saw this tonight, and liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Is everyone going to be OK if we talk about spoilers in this thread?

Oh, they pay illegal immigrants fifteen cents an hour to wipe the glasses down with those sanitary cart wipes they have at supermarkets.

Cross avatar off the list. I really wanted to see it till I heard that. yeck.

Funny thing. I bought the Coraline 3-D video and the home format was in the red / blue even though the theater version was the polarized process. I was all jacked to use the glasses that I didn't turn in at the movie house and come to find out that they don't work at home. Wonder if televisions have problems with the polarizations?
