Anyway, after the 3D movie was over, we decided to crank up some music on the system - Usually for this I startup my HTPC, stream some good trance music from ETN.FM, and let the G-Force run wild with the beat on the 120" projection screen - Boy, does G-Force look great on a huge screen like that, especially sitting only 8 feet back from the screen!
Since we had just finished watching a movie in 3D, I said to my friend "Man, wouldn't G-Force be really cool in 3D? Too bad Soundspectrum doesn't offer a 3D version, I'd be all over that for sure!"
Then it struck me - "Hey, wait a minute - my projector has a 2D to 3D conversion mode in it - I wonder what G-Force would look like with that turned on?!" I began salivating at the thought as I powered up the HTPC and connected to the streaming music site. I got G-force working well to the music at full screen, and then the critical moment arrived - we powered up our 3D shutter glasses and put them on, and then I switched the projector over to 2D-3D conversion mode. Oh... My... Gawd!
Even though it is a "Fake-3D" mode, it still actually worked quite impressively with G-Force - depending on the patterns and colors, sometimes the image was fairly flat, but othertimes was like being on the inside of a big sphere or looking down a long tunnel, with objects and patterns floating around at different depth levels. And when the patterns were rushing towards us - well, I think we "went plaid" more than a few times, lol! With the theater sound system cranked, the seat shakers making our butts start to go numb, and the in-your-face G-Force 3D conversion, it was a totally awesome roller-coaster experience! With the huge sceen image filling your view plus the added dimensionality of the conversion, we were totally enveloped in a 3D kaleidoscope world! I definitely recommend trying this out if you have a 2D-3D conversion setting on your TV or projector - just be sure to sit close!!
