True story.
I treated myself to a GoPro Hero 2 this week. In my excitement about my new gadget I mentioned it to my Grandad on the phone and told him how the image you get from the camera is High Definition and really incredible. I then told him that if you buy two cameras and a special case you can record in 3D. He asked how that worked and because he’s 89 and not exactly technically minded I explained that basically if you record the same image twice side by side it will produce a video in 3D.
Later that day my Nan called and said ” how does this 3D thing work? You’re Grandad has just recorded the same episode of Judge Judy on ITV2 and ITV2+1 on the Sky box and wants to watch it in 3D”.
It took a long time to ‘unexplain’ my previous explanation on the principles of 3D recording.
