       Lately I have been tinkering with the 3D function of the Xreal Air 
       glasses.  I almost forgot about it until I went looking up 
       something on the surface webz.  I knew it had that feature, which 
       was one of the functions that interested me, but did not mess with 
       it at all until now.
       
       The Xreal Air glasses has a mode for side-by-side (SBS) 3D video 
       and images.  From my understanding, this is when you have 2 images, 
       1 for each eye.  Each image is slightly misaligned with the other so 
       it produces the 3D effect when viewed together with both eyes 
       (stereoscophic.)  I don't know too much about how the sausage is 
       made, but I find it quite tasty.
       
       So I found some SBS 3D videos on the j00t00b and got to test out 
       that feature.  It works good enough, but the quality of the 
       streamed video, not so great.  So that got me into thinking about 
       3D Blu-Ray.
       
       When 3D Blu-Ray videos and 3D hardware was still being sold, but 
       was starting to phase out, I picked up a 3D-capable TV and a 3D 
       Blu-Ray player, on clearance of course.  I thought it was so cool, 
       3D videos at home!  
       
       The 3D TV used these active 3D glasses that ran off of coin cells, 
       not the passive red and blue glasses like from before.  I bought 
       some extra pairs since they seemed quite fragile and something my 
       kids would destroy at the age they were at.
       
       3D Blu-Ray discs were easy to find on sale or clearance.  I could 
       even find some for dirt cheap at Big Lots! before they went away.  
       I ended up with a nice collection of 3D discs.  
       
       Later on, I ended up with the Sony HMZ-T2, which is a 3D-capable 
       head-mounted display (HMD) that came out before Oculus or the 
       current vitual reality rigs.  No cameras, head tracking, 
       controllers.  Just a static display strapped to your face.  3D 
       videos worked pretty well on this rig when attached to the 3D 
       Blu-Ray player.  The thing that sucked was all of the setup, power 
       requirements, and hardware/wires.
       
       OK, I gotta motor...m0ar l8r...
