Buzz Aldrin to Debut 3D Film “Fly Me To The Moon” At NVISION

Just found this little tidbit on the Nvidia website:

S3D is taking off, bigtime! (pun intented)

[yuriythebest]

right, hate to burst your bubble but in the entire article I saw no mention of S3D or stereo3d, it just says 3d and that could mean flat 3d

3D FILMS are usually stereoscopic 3D, but most people don't see the difference in the naming!
Also why should they say its something new (first movie in 3D ... bla bla), if they it's just one more FLAT movie?
And I think this is simply not true, too. Wasn't Haunted castle also a completly computer generated 3D movie?

exactly, there's a double definition sorta. the confusion really sets in when people who don't know what stereo3D is see movies named that way and don't understand and think it's just flat, and when people who like stereo3d see something marked "3d" and automatically assume it's stereo3d when in fact it's but a 3d image presented in flat-o-vision. I sure hope there will be an standardized icon for stereo3d like we have for dolbly surround sound.

‘Fly Me to the Moon’ is the first computer-animated film ever to be designed, created, and produced exclusively in 3D. It will also be the first film to be shown only in 3D.”

I think is pretty clear that its a stereo 3d movie. Obviously is not the first 3d animation (I think Pixar's got that covered), so that can't be it. It also says "first film to be shown only in 3D", so I think thats the proof right there.

Fly Me To The Moon IS an S3D Movie.

I bet most non educated people don't even know, what setereoscopic before the 3D means...
I think they take it for 3D rendered and flat or realy 3D depending on what the topic is about...

Most games could belong to 2D presented (as usual for 3D games)
But 3D movies should be something else --> 3D cinemas and stuff. You don't call them stereoscopic 3D cinemas, do you?

So the only one who complains about it is us interested folks, who know what exactly is the difference

If it's a S3D movie by NV, do you think they would (try to) promote their S-3D drivers? Or maybe the Zalman screen? At least that is exactly the right audience

Either way, its bogus marketing. I know for a fact that there have been IMAX3D movies that were never shown in 2D theaters. So this is most certainly not the first 3D only release.

[pixel67]

I went to see Journey to the center of the earth last night and they actually showed this as a 3d Preview (put on the glasses type preview). Finally, actual marketing of future 3d movies... imagine that!

[LukePC1]

So you say, they are going to support S-3D more again?
And are also putting energy and $ into promotion? Thats something new...

I hope it works...
and I'm looking forward to a real review from someone

[yuriythebest]

i"ll just wait for the S3D DVDrip

They did that at Beowulf as well. They had an ad for the Journey movie and a few other previews in 3D.

Good points... and this site is called MTBS3D.com (Meant To Be Seen 3D) not Meant To Be Stereo, or MTBSS3D.com (Meant To Be Seen Stereo 3D). So Neil is also at fault here. I think that, while confusing, most people now accept 3D cinema to mean Stereo 3D. It becomes confusing when you talk about 3D games... most games are 3D these days... but if you say that you play games in 3D then most would still take that to mean play in Stereo 3D.

[yuriythebest]

but if you say that you play games in 3D then most would still take that to mean play in Stereo 3D.

no, I think most will think you play 3d games

[LukePC1]

but if you say that you play games in 3D then most would still take that to mean play in Stereo 3D.

no, I think most will think you play 3d games

I think the word order should/could make it clear...

3D games --> Flat, right?
games in 3D --> something else?

but the world is big. Both kind of people are out there... so you are both right

Well 3D is old news. I hear PS3 is already on 4D!!! And you wonder why people are confused.

[Welder]

I can't begin to tell you how many people I have told that I work for a 3D monitor company, and they say, what's that?? My monitors already 3D. Then I say... no, like, real 3D. And they still don't have any idea what I'm talking about... So it can be very confusing, yes.

Then you add Stereoscopic to the front, and they turn pale, and go into a coma =(

Ha ha ha! I love it.
Next you'll be trying to convince people they have two eyes, not one... that'll really blow them away.
Perhaps we all need to make an effort to call it stereoscopic. Most people understand stereo sound these days, it's just a case of education regarding what stereoscopic means.

Sad but really true. Everybody who watch games in 3D real life is totally blown away (well, almost everybody). But telling people that gaming in 3D is possible only gives a "so what??!!" sort of answer. 3D has to be seen and it can't be done if someone has a monoscopic handicap.

cheers

What do you guys think of the term "Stereo Video"? I think its a lot more friendly than "Stereoscopic" and fits in well with the AV crowd.

If you want to see just how confused people are, read the comments on this page:

Seriously, you really have to wonder whats going on with schools these days. How could people not know what the third dimension is?

IMO, thats even worse then not knowing about gravity. What would you say to someone you met if they had never heard of gravity? Exactly.

LMAO!

Really, it would seem as we see 2D, but just that shading gives us the perception of depth. We don't see anything more than if we were looking at a picture, which is 2D.

Is this guy for real??? Maybe he has only one eye.
And this guy seems to have just as little idea:

Oh, and if think about it, your eye is circular. If it was flat like a square (not a cube)you would probably only be able to see in 2-D.

And had a laugh at this too:

With the 3-D movies that come out at you, they aren't 2-D anymore because the image is not displayed on a flat surface (the tv screen)

I thought the iZ3D was flat!
