P3D Re: No window



Message text written by INTERNET:photo-3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
>Yes, IMAX has said in the past that because it covers your entire field of
view,
there is no stereo window.  I haven't seen the film in question here, but I
suppose stuff always floating by your face could get as tiring as always
having
stuff poked in it, like in most commercial 3-D films...  Kids do like stuff
to come
out towards them, and I've often seen children at 3-D films try to catch
butterflies
(and other stuff) in films where they are in front of the window.<

There's another consideration, too. One of the often overlooked factors of
projected 3D is that your eyes are presented with a logical and physical
problem. They are REALLY focused on one place (the screen) while they are
often made to think that they are focused somewhere else (the subject of
the picture). When the two points in space are radically different, I think
this is a large contributing factor to that eyestrain that so many people
complain about in 3D movies. I always try to keep the main subject as near
to the window as physically and mechanically possible, and avoid wrenching
the audience's attention forward and backward through space from shot to
shot.
