How To Create 3d Glasses In Home

3D technology has been implemented in multiple fields these days, as we can see the wide applications in the consumer sector such as 3D glasses and 3D cinema. Both 3D glasses and 3D cinema aim to provide people with a three-dimensional image that seems more realistic, while an immersive viewing experience is delivered as well. 3D glasses are not as complicated as we imagined, and it's not that hard to make 3D glasses at home.

Part 1: How Do 3D Glasses of Different Kinds Work?

3D technology fundamentally revolutionized how people perceive reality, especially in the cinema. With 3D glasses, the way media watching has been pushed to a new boundary - the world in the movie is not flat anymore, space expands, distance disappears, the image is jumping out of the screen, and you become part of the world. This technology was the pioneer that used to propel a depth towards cinema, signifying a creative turn in filmmaking. While 3D glasses have been widely used in cinema, how many kinds of 3D glasses do you know and how do they work? Generally, there are three types of 3D glasses, anaglyph, polarized, and shutter, all of which are capable of bringing flat images to life.

Anaglyph 3D glasses

These glasses are geared with red/cyan lenses. These lenses can produce the image by filtering the color layered on the image, while one lens eliminates all the red, the other filters out the cyan. As a result of that, your brain is tricked to see an image with 3D effects. The image you are looking at is created out of the projection of two different perspectives.

Polarized 3D glasses

Instead of filtering out red and blue colors, polarized 3D glasses restrict the light that enters your eyes and 3D effects rely on the screen to make it happen. The image on the screen is made up of two superimposed images that go through an orthogonal polarizing filter. Then the 3D glasses allow you to see two individual images. Polarized 3D glasses are ideal for IMAX 3D movies.

Shutter 3D glasses

Shutter glasses are the most premium 3D glasses available today. They don't rely on image or color filtering to create 3D effects but work on LCD screen technology. Each lens will be darkened to alternate the left and the right. Shutter glasses are battery or USB-supported, which makes them more expensive than the traditional 3D glasses.

Part 2: How to Make 3D Glasses at Home?

It's not that hard to make 3D glasses of different kinds at home as you imagine. Making Anaglyph 3D glasses is easy at home! Follow the steps below to see how to make 3D glasses.

Step 1: Outline the template of a pair of 3D glasses. You can simply draw the photo of a pair of glasses type on a hard card. Then cut the shape out and the outline of a pair of 3D glasses have been prepared. You have better produce two templates of 3D-glasses because the lens will be needed to added between them.

Step 2: Create two colored lenses. Here you can use ziplock bag as the lenses material to cut out two lenses whose sizes will be the same as the 3D-glasses lenses template. Then use red permanent marker and blue permanent marker to color the two lenses. Next cut the two lenses out from the ziplock bag.

Step 3: Glue the two lenses to the 3D-glass template.
