vision impairments and 3-D glasses

[IOAfan]

Hi everyone,

I'm half blind and was wondering if anyone else out there is because I have a question...

How can you wear 3-d glasses so you can see through both lenses out of your good eye? I tried compensating last year, but i looked pretty silly not having the glasses on right, but I want to experience the 3-d action like everyone else. Is there a way I can wear them without looking stupid?

I'm not half blind, but I have experimented in the 3 D movies by closing one or the other eye with the 3 D glasses on. I'm not sure if you will be able to get the 3 D effect with only one eye. Most 3D effects work because the lenses give a slightly different view to each eye. In the brain, the 2 images are combined. Because the brain is used to seeing real items in 3 D, it tries to make the pictures into 3 D images.

So, there's no way to achieve the 3-d imagery with one eye. Oh nuts, I was looking for to enjoying Honey: I Shrunk the Audience this summer if I could just get the glasses to give me the same effect as with a normal person. Thanks Sue.

Sorry to say, I don't think it will work.
Here's a link for you about how 3D movies work.
Maybe there is someone you can write an email to ask if there is any way you can do it with only sight in one eye. I don't think it will work, but here's a splash of pixie dust to help you on the way.
