:facepalm:

You clearly don't understand anything about stereoscopic vision if you think you can achieve that with only one eye. The ONLY reason that you can still kind of perceive pseudo-depth if you cover one eye is because the brain is so used to seeing things stereoscopically that it can fudge the effect. That is also why certain optical illusions work so well because the brain is "expecting" to see something, even if that is not what it is really seeing.

Do you have any other nuggets of stupidity that you want to share with us though? Maybe you want to claim that you don't need taste buds to taste foods or olfactory sensory cells to smell? But I think you've proven that you don't need a brain to post stupid replies online. ]]>Jul 28th 2010 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/Jul 28th 2010 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/Jul 28th 2010 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/
Your daughter isn't able to see 3D because you need two eyes to see 3D. The brain needs those two images from two different eyes to put it together into 3D.

Your daugther sees the world in 2D and always will for the rest of her life, just like me. All the both of us will ever see is two different angles of an object in rapid succession which kind of transports a pseudo-3D effect. That is not real 3D. It doesn't give us depth-perception. And again, it never will]]>Jul 28th 2010 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/

You guys have consistently been using the wrong nomenclature for what is perceived to be stereo3D. And I know it's not just you guys, but I don't expect a car site or some knitting site to use the proper terminology... I do however expect for a tech-related site to know the difference between simple 3D and stereoscopic 3D.

3D is WAAAAAY too much of a vague term. It can mean anything from 3D polygon-based graphics (like in most 1st person shooters), or it can mean actual physical 3D models that you can hold in your hand. Stereoscopic 3D is the term that should be used when one means a 2D display that uses 2 different images for each eye to give the illusion of depth. This particular case is actually neither of those. It is trying to be a "hologram" and float an image in thin air, but because there are only 3 combined images, the effect doesn't really work.

I am giving you guys a hard time simply because I expect more from a site devoted to, and run by, people that love technology. Well that, and the fact that it fun to bust on a former Scooby-fan. ]]>Jul 28th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/Jul 28th 2010 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/aircord-labs-n-3d-concept-turns-an-ipad-into-worlds-second-lea/

I know you didn't use the term "stereoscopic" but did use 3d as if you were implying it was stereo. (Yes i know its confusing and that's why it would be nice if tech sites started using the proper terminology.
