G-FORCE improvement - Depth

[Jonh2o]

As the subject brings you to assumptions of what I am about to expound upon, let me tell you once again: Depth will enhance G-force tremendously.

What do I mean by depth? Let me tell you how I came up with the idea...

I was watching G-Force with some really great Goa-Trance and I started to notice that G-Force is really edgy, so I thought about ways to change this. What I did was slightly cross/unfocus my eyes.

^An example of this done to a still image can be achieved with 3D Lenticular software (read the "freeinstruction.htm" page for photographs):

This is the same thing you do if you want to look at something closer than the monitor (in the example of what I did).
When you are looking at something really close to your face, ever notice that things farther away show blurry? Indeed. G-force needs this type of blurry effect applied on it. But wait! Also add the 3-D imaging that comes along with having two screens/eyes. It would make it seem more dimensional - less edgy, more real - less pixilated.

This can be exemplified (sort of) the way "Magic Eye� books are created. Scott Wald figured out a code that allows you to make magic eye images from .gif pictures in '99.

A way that seems to work in my mind to create depth is characterized by how audio is wired through equipment in recording studios. Take the master output (what we view of G-FORCE, a MONO source) and DUPLICATE it. Take this duplikit* and move it slightly horizontal to that of the original output (left speaker, right speaker effect). Thus making 2 off-center parallel outputs displayed on one monitor.

This will create the illusion that G-Force is on a different level than that of the monitor. Focusing on the two different displays will make the monitor out of focus (just like when focusing on Magic Eye, the book becomes out of focus).
It sounds simple to me! But that is just my outlook on it as a customer.

I have no idea about the labor and technicalities of achieving this idea through scripting. This type of program may already be available as far as I know. Has anybody seen these movies?

How’d they do that!? And how come more films aren't displayed in 3 dimensions? *shrugs* I guess we’re in the process of grasping the idea. The same thing as with Surround Sound (Although that’s starting to change with things such as Dual Disk).

An analog way of expressing the effect of the parallel image scripting would be to first configure your computers display to run on two monitors, set them right next to each other, and then focus them together. This is just like taking a mono recording and listening to it on headphones. You now have 3 images. What your left eye perceives, what your right eye perceives, and G-FORCE!

Panning audio from left speaker to right speaker can only be done in stereo. G-FORCE having depth will get everyone involved stepping into a revolutionized way of looking at video. What an evolution! Just like photographs to video, just like MONO to STEREO, just like anything that has been improved!
1+1=3 if you cross the two objects together. It’s a whole new dimension!
I am a math genius, ha-ha.

Hopefully I have convinced you that this idea is awesome and it should be done. If you think it is impossible to do, you are wrong. My mission is to stir up people who know how to achieve this task and to DO IT! I foresee this being the introduction to 3-D television sets sold in stores. It’s a gigantic claim, but no one else is doing it. Who wants to pioneer?

Don’t be afraid to expound on my idea in any way. This idea is completely open to anybody. Think of it like how the L.A.M.E. encoder came up as a result of numerous people having their way at an open source - A little tweak here from one person, a little tweak there by another. It’s all good.

Discuss!

* = I invented that word. Go ahead and look it up in the dictionary. See? Not in there, yet. I am the first person to use it. I URGE YOU TO SPELL IT LIKE THIS! Funny, everyone knows what it means and how to pronounce it!! HAHAHA. The joke is on the person that corrects your spelling. You’re using “ABC� slang, yo.

I found these 3-D LCD glasses that add depth to the display:

Has anyone used a similar device before?
I think this is really interesting.
