Someone on my twitter feed shared a YouTube video link and i saw something which made my eyes go wide. A 3D button on the player control.
With single click I could see 2D video into seemingly 3D video. I don’t have 3D glasses at the moment to test it out, but the effects i am seeing naked eyes makes me feel that there is subtle 3D effect YouTube was able to introduce, on the fly in an plain 2d video.
3D TVs are not selling at the moment, and one of the big reasons is availability of 3D enabled programming. But with YouTube’s capability to render 2D video into 3D might change it forever…
I am pretty sure that there are tools available online which can convert (or try to convert 2D video into 3D) but being able to integrate that into full blown commercial video platform is big. This is big!
