CINEMATIC 3D GLASSES & EQUIPMENT GUIDE™
Choose the right 3D equipment
3D production is available in every technically compatible studio. Know the difference: editable 3D scenes (not generated here), 2D CGI imagery (our AI concept frames) and genuine stereoscopic output (our converter and exports).
Stereoscopic 3D
Side-by-side & top-and-bottom
Requires a compatible 3D television, 3D projector or headset. Passive polarised and active-shutter glasses must match your equipment — they are not interchangeable.
Anaglyph 3D
Red / cyan
Red/cyan glasses work with many ordinary colour screens, including laptops and standard projectors, with reduced colour accuracy.
VR 3D
Full side-by-side stills
Requires a compatible VR headset — generally no separate glasses. Ordinary stereoscopic content does not automatically become VR180, VR360 or interactive VR.
Passive polarised glasses
Lightweight, unpowered. Work only with passive (polarised) 3D TVs, cinema systems and polarising projector setups with a silver screen.
Active-shutter glasses
Battery-powered, synchronised to the display by IR, RF or DLP-Link. Must match your TV or projector's sync standard.
Red/cyan anaglyph glasses
Inexpensive card or plastic glasses. Work with ordinary colour screens and standard projectors, with reduced colour accuracy.
VR headsets
Show a separate image to each eye — generally no separate glasses needed. Use full side-by-side stereo media in a compatible player.
Projection systems
Any projector shows 2D. Stereoscopic 3D needs a 3D-capable projector (usually active DLP-Link or a dual-projector passive setup) with matching glasses and screen.
Compatible 3D glasses, projectors and VR equipment may be available from Amazon and other retailers.
