It’s new, it’s improved, it’s on your computer screen, it doesn’t use any fucking glasses. How in god’s name did i miss this? This is not the 3-d technology of yore, it doesn’t give headaches like the blue/red stupid-head glasses do. It uses the parrallax effect to create real 3-d. By all accounts the effect is as amazing as captain eo was, with fully-grown men (magazine editors!) reaching out to touch the images that were floating in mid-air. And ducking the bullets that were flying around in quake. Can you imagine playing quake in true 3-d? Holy fucking shit.
In related news, Chicken Little is going to be the first movie released with some new 3-d technology, too. But that one needs glasses. Apparently 3-d is the next big thing in cinema, and steven spielberg said that he has got “a big surprise” in store for movie-going audiences… apparently bigger than the fact that they expect us to go in and pay to wear glasses (similar to, but more advanced than the captain eo kind. the image should be even more realistically 3-d than that movie was. Do you remember how realistic captain eo was?) for a crappy children’s cgi movie. Apparently there are two movies per year planned for 3d animation, though. Really brings a new meaning to 3d animation, if you ask me.
