3D glasses

looks like a lot of 3d telecasts. found the masters being telecast in 3d today. googled masters 3d comcast and the press release of comcast came up, but nothing about where i should get my glasses.

on youtube i found how to make my own 3d glasses - which is basically painting clear plastic film with blue and red markers and attaching it to any glass frame. for that i need to get out of the house first and get the blue and red markers. The only one we have is a black marker, which may not exactly work on 3d telecasts - or may work very well, depending on how much you like golf!

meanwhile, staring at the 3d image, i found a workaround...there are two images split along the center of the tv screen. so first thing i tried is to focus somewhere in front of the tv such that the tiger on the right and the tiger on the left overlapped. So now i am seeing a very blurred tiger woods, and as i kept staring at him, the brain slowly got tricked into focusing at the tv distance. end result - your eyes are almost crossed as if looking at a point one feet in front of your nose, but they are focusing on something about 12 feet away...

saw the 3d for about 2 minutes - looked good - tiger was way in front of the crowd, and the writings on screen were way in front of tiger...but got a bad headache now....

gonna get my blue and red markers tomorrow and try out next...
