Is SOW BOB going to be sterescopic 3D compatible?

I recently read that youtube was in fact close to enabling 3D videos to be played. They demoed it at a recent show. I don't think its quite up and running on the actual site yet though?

The thing is though that if you don't already have 3D glasses ($200) or suitable monitor (old 100-120Hz CRT or spend at least $600 on new compatable LCD) then you won't be able to see any youtube 3D videos even when it is up and running. You can use analgraph (colored glasses) but they are total crap and the sort of thing that gave 3D a bad rep in the past.

On the other hand if you do already have stereoscopic glasses you already know how good it is and can make the video yourself.

Another way to put this - you cannot show 3D stereo vision on a 2D monitor - you were joking right? Its a bit like someone with a black and white only monitor asking someone with a color monitor to post a color pic so they can see how good color pics look on their black and white monitor before deciding if they should update from B&W to color.

Yeah, youtube has had 3d video for a few months now. There are a number of options for how to display the 3d. I use anaglyph just to get an idea of what i can expect. Do a search for yt3d to see what is available.

Thanks I have actually seen all those options before though, I don't consider any of them worth while 3D options, I think they are all gimicks that give 3D a bad name. In particular none of them work with nvidia drivers and glasses yet. That will change soon apparently though.
