This Video Is 2D And 3D Simultaneously: the Pulfrich Effect #3D #DoctorWho
YouTuber Tom Scott shares this video explaining the Pulfrich effect. You are going to look a little silly trying to cover one eye with a pair of sunglasses but it does work! Grab a pair of sunglasses and try it for yourself.
Hold on tight, because with a stabilised camera shot and a pair of sunglasses, you’re about to see a video that works in both 2D and 3D at the same time. The technique’s called the Pulfrich Effect, and this is how it works.
The BBC’s terrible 90s Doctor Who special, Dimensions in Time, can be seen here, complete with its Noel Edmonds-filled framing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQCeM…
