stereoscopic vision: 3d movies

Well, I'm curious. I've known of him on these boards for ages but have never known who he really was. Though there's plenty of members here who I really don't know, yet have seen the names of for years. Maybe I should get to know more members here.

I guess honestly, I've been too afraid of getting attached to anyone overseas. I've always been so insistant on just getting to know people in the UK. For a good reason, really. Why become friends or more with people you could never meet?

Then again, when I was a kid, I met up with aspies from different countries who travelled here. Heh, I was quite good at social networking, really...strangely.

well do you ever travel yourself?

i'm pretty much your opposite at that. for some reason (more like a multitude of reasons, actually) i'm very resistant to getting attached to anyone in my country

anyway, i just hope naturalplastic isn't bathing in anyone's blood to stay alive at that age

he keeps a painting in the closet that does all his aging for him.

GASP!! !!

How did YOU know!?!?!?!

Tried that bathing in the blood of slain young folks thing. Didnt work. So hired the same painter who did that portrait of Dorian Gray. And somehow it works.

Am about half the age in my profile (when they started the new look for WP and we had redo our profiles I just put down my birthyear as "1900" just to be done with it).

So...why do you call yourself "Smudge"?

Since we're on the topic of 3D, I thought I'd mention something weird I've noticed. I have a Nintendo 3DS (the original one) and I've noticed that, sometimes after using it, I'll start to perceive depth in images on regular (2D) screens. For example, I might start to perceive layers of 3D depth in posts on this forum. It's really weird. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

i've never looked at a ds screen myself, but while i was googling about stereo vision yesterday, i found this post by a guy saying he can see 3d on his ds, and only on his ds, supposedly because of the precise distance where his left gaze and right gaze meet

allegedly there have also been cases (or at least one case) of a person recovering stereo vision after watching a 3d movie (because of the artificial way how it forces your brain, i suppose). but i doubt that would ever work for someone like me, who never had stereo vision to begin with

Well for the record I have both very good 3D perception (in terms of being able to visualize/imagine things in 3D, as well as take in 3D information from pictures) and good ability in my eye muscles to physically see stereo images. I can view stereo pairs where the separation of the half-images is too wide for other people to view them unaided (as long as they're parallel--I can't do cross-eyed at all), and as long as the width is the same, I can flip through a series of stereo images without losing the blurred focus, and can keep the 3-D images sharp even as I move my head or the images.
