3D TV for nothing

[Uncle C]

This is for those that wear specs.

Next time you are watching TV turn you glasses through 180 degrees, so you are looking through the front of them with the bends for the arms going upwards. (This keeps your prescription right for each eye.)

Now study carefully and you will be amazed that your TV has become 3D

This advice has been brought to you free of charge.

Don't you get the same effect simply by laying down on the sofa ?

Not unless you've got a magic sofa You've got to take your glasses off and turn them over.

My sofa is very special and has its own unique smells, but I'm not sure its magic.

Cool, smelly vision as well..

Just like scratch and sniff

Er.. no it doesn't, it means my left eye is looking through what is normally the lens for my right eye.

Plus as mine are varifocals I have to stand on my head to read anything.

Pardon?

Why cant you follow simple instructions.

1 Remove glasses from nose, holding their left arm with your left hand and their right arm with your right hand.

2. Without letting go or moving your own arms, turn the glasses over by 180degrees, till you are looking at the front of them.

3. Now without letting go, advance the lenses till they are in front of your eyes.

Enjoy

PS Did Einstein have this much trouble defining gravity?

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

No i couldn't read the instructions because I was fart-arseing around with my glasses.

If I turn my glasses through 180 degrees I'm facing backwards.

How am I supposed to keep them on my head if the arms are facing forward?

And in any case, there's not much that ¡s worth watching on the box in 2D so why would I want 3D?

I'm beginning to think that this is not a serious suggestion.

And I've always wondered about gravity, perhaps you'd explain.

Or, on second thoughts, don't bother. I'm going for a beer in the sun in the square instead. If my glasses don't fall off.

This is like the man on Tower Bridge giving out free £10 notes. Nobody would take one as they didn't think it could be real.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

There's another trick with glasses ...

Take a glass. Fill it with drink. Then rotate through ninety degrees.

... as illustrated in the following smiley:-



Do this continuously for several hours and the picture on your television will lose all of its focus.

You may wake up and find that your sofa smells.

This is magic.

So 225 people have read this thread. Did anyone give it a try?

 

[footychick]

Yes but it wasn't 3D, just weird.

I woke up this morning with really tired eyes, the parcel tape I used to keep my glasses in the right place had pull off half of my eye brows and my wife has to wear a patch as I poked her in the eye with the protuding glasses arm when I kissed her. And to top it all no it didnt look 3D.

I still don't really understand Uncle C's instructions. I think I need a diagram.

No use you coming round here for compo.

I think you need more than that:thud:

 

[Uncle C]

I think you're getting there. Can you describe what you see?

I called it 3D cause I see an incease in depth of the image, with some objects looking closer and others further away.

Incidentally it also works on photos and magazine pictures.

Bloody hell, it works!!

What if you only have a prescription lens in one eye?

The right lens in my glasses is just clear plastic, so does that mean I'll only get 2.5D vision?
