Iirc, instead of a single slit that would block the polarized light as you tilt your head, they add a smaller one, forming a cross. Together they still allow the light through, possibly also that meant for your other eye though (see my video).

I think you got it backwards. Light will pass through a polarizer if its electric field is perpendicular to the polymer fibers and not if it's parallel. The reason why is because the electric field pushes the electrons in the semiconducting fibers around and the movement of electrons absorbs the electric field.

5:52 "You put a polarizer in for each one of those cameras, as it were..."; this is a misleading statement because it might imply that polarizers are used by the camera(s) that record the images rather than on the display system that plays them back. Such 3D displays only use polarizers on 2 projector lenses or on the monitor pixels, not on the cameras.

I guess it works in the same way as with the mirror, you beam the left eyed light with the polarisation of the right eyes glass, it becomes reflected by the screen and changes it's polarisation, then you see it through the left eye. I can't think of a reason why diffuse reflection should behave differently than a mirror considering polarisation. The only difference between the mirror and the white sheet is the angle of reflection, apart from that the light behaves the same.

Explanation of linear polarization is wrong. The energy from the electric field in the direction of the polymers lines accerates electrons along the polymer creating a current and these photons are thus absorbed. The electric field perpendicular to the polymer lines are the ones which pass, not the way shown in the video at 5:02

+Adam Heppler I tried it. The black looks to be flickering if I wear it and look in the mirror. If I close my left eye, left eye appears black and right eye looks like sunglasses. And vice versa if I close my right eye. I think I have over 5 3D glasses which I have smuggled from theaters for my colection. Finally they are useful again.

+Adam Heppler i have a twenty-something pair collection of these glasses (i wore them as regular sunglasses for a while; i'm weird like that) and have done this many times; your right eye sees your left eye in the mirror, but your right eye appears blacked out. the opposite is true for your left eye. so you are simultaneously seeing both eyes as completely clear, and completely black, which creates a bizarre shimmering effect, and will give you a pretty bad headache if you look too long. next time you're at a 3d movie, look at one of your buddies who is also wearing the glasses; you'll get the reverse effect. (though it looks pretty much the same with both eyes open.)

QuantumBraced Us Brits also tend to call the thing you sit on "a toilet". lol I think it's just a slightly lazy colloquialism tbh, as a lot of people don't tend to like using the posher terms like "lavatory" and "water closet" / WC. (most Brits probably say "cupboard" instead of "closet" as well.) The "bathroom" thing does sound a tad strange to our ears, because that term is usually reserved only for a room which actually has a bath in it. Languages are weird. lol I'm getting used to a lot of Americanisms, and even find myself using a few at times. Language is evolving all the time, and obviously the Internet has started to merge a lot of languages and slang. One thing I'll never quite get my brain around though, are phrases like "There IS more gameS". Haven't you guys ever heard of the word "are" being used when there is a plural? :p (or the contraction "they're".)

I actually deal with Circularly Polarized antennas all the time, it's neat finding out that is circularly polarized, I use it for multipath rejection. You actually show a visual example of that when you held the glasses in front of the mirror, doesn't let the light, or in my case radio transmissions (same thing, lower freq), back through. Super neat, I'll have to show this to the people that work with these too.

Keep in mind that basically you have to be very close to the mirror in order to see the light passing twice through the same lens. really fun. :D

Unfortunately this is a close but incorrect explanation. I am a physicist specializing in non linear optics and i can tell you that the glasses do not act as circular polarizers. They are linear polarizers. The light coming from the projector is circularly polarized. The left vs right eyepiece of the glasses is polarized 45 degrees from the horizontal and the other side is 90 degrees offset from the other.

@bedevere007 This is stereoscopic 3D. Your glasses actually only let you see through one lens at a time, blacking one out while viewing through the other. At the same time your TV or monitor flashes a different image in sync with the glasses, showing you a different image through each eye. A normal monitor refreshes at 60Hz, to achieve the same smoothness with stereoscopic 3D you need 120Hz (60Hz per eye). Now I don't know the technicalities but this flashing of each lens requires power.

This seems to go against his explanation, does it not? I guess my glasses could let out left circular polarized light and let in right polarized light (which again, would be the exact opposite of the glasses in the video) but that seems very odd given the explanation.? Would love a little insight :)

Big Thumbs up! I had been wondering this for a long time, only knowing about linear polarization. But I have a question! Why is there a green/purple colour shift associated with looking through the glasses at different angles? When you rotate the angle of the lens it seems to change the hue of the apparent image. I'd love to know why this happens. Literally, every time I come out of a 3D movie, I spend my friend's post-movie-bathroom-break time trying different things to see what happens in different situations. So cool. Thank you Sixty Symbols for taking the time to make a video on this. Also, I'd love to see a video explaining how you would figure out your movement vector in empty space without any points of reference. Thanks!

My guess is, that in cinema, the light is projected to a screen and reflect to the viewer's eyes. For linear projection the light can still change its angle due the the surface of the screen. Circlar polarisation does not have this cross mixing effect because when it is reflected you can still predict it movement.

In the Nintendo 3DS screen there are vertical lines of pixels that are supposed to reach the left eye alternately put next to pixel lines for the right eye.At a small distance from the pixels there are vertical bars(like a fence) that hide half of the pixels from your eyes.Because your eyes have different positions the left eye sees only the pixel lines that are hidden from your right eye and vice versa.This way the Nintendo 3DS can transmit a different image to each eye and cause the 3D effect.

@itsmanofpopsicle : The red image is seen through the red filter, while it blocks the blue(or more likely, the cyan/aqua) image, and the other way around for the the other filter. Of course, saying something like "red filter" is a bit ambiguous, but in most cases where a visible color filter is referred to, the color indicates what the filter passes, not what it blocks, so that a "red filter" in normal use would be one that lets red light pass through it.

And there be 2 kinds of autostereoscopic displays as well, lenticular lenses and parallax barrier displays. So it actually gets a bit complicated if you want to cover all the bases.

The thin film coating on the lenses are directional, thereby changing the light differently depending from which direction it is passing through the filters.

@MattBlackLamb It's very easy to test. If you tilt your head 90 degrees left or right and notice the pictures has swapped, it means the linear polarization is used. At the angle of 45 degrees, the picture should be perfectly washed out. If none of above happens, it means it's either circular polarization filters, or wavelength filters (like in my local cinema). Also, linear polarizers should cancel out LCD picture (like from older mobile phones).

@atomwa actually there's still one screen, just two similar images being put out at different frequencies.

Just as an added fun fact Imax 3d uses Linear polarisation, you do notice image shearing if you tip your head sideways but I've found image quality to be higher (assuming you keep your head vertical) and the depth perception is better too.

@pch0014 That's called autostereoscopic if you want to look it up. Generally there are parallax lenses on the screen that focus the Left and Right images and the appropriate eyes.
