1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,879
everything seems to be going 3d lately 3d movies the nintendo 3ds and oculus

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,639
rift are all recent examples but 3d technology has been around for a while

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:14,719
so how does it work first you need to understand how the brain is able to see

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:19,199
3d objects in the first place because your two eyes have some distance between

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:23,199
them each eye sees a slightly different view of the world objects which are

6
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:28,000
closer to you appear to be in different positions when compared to things that

7
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:32,239
are further away this is called parallax and it's the basis for how all 3d

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:36,559
technology works these two slightly different views are then combined

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:42,079
together in the brain's visual cortex to form a mental 3d image so 3d technology

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,440
simply has to trick the brain into thinking that something is 3d when it's

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,760
really not this is accomplished by presenting two slightly different images

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,239
to each of your two eyes there are several ways to do this first up

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:59,520
stereograms this is how those old view master 3d toys worked each eye simply

14
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:04,000
looks directly at a different image which are so close to your face that you

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,159
can't help but focus one eye on each of them oculus rift also works this way

16
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:12,080
with each eye seeing a slightly different image but you don't even need

17
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:16,240
a special device to make this work you can just place the two images side by

18
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:21,119
side like this hilarious picture of beardless teran from 2006. all you need

19
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:26,159
to do is cross your eyes to match up the images this is very similar to how magic

20
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:31,439
eye images work for this single image stereogram instead of crossing your eyes

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:35,360
you make them more parallel same concept different eye placement this one is a

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,119
shark some people can't seem to make these kind of images work though how

23
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:44,479
about just putting on a pair of glasses these red and cyan tinted glasses are

24
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:48,640
used for anaglyph 3d you've probably seen this before the two different

25
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:53,040
pictures are converted into red and cyan and then merged together to create a

26
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:57,759
sort of bluish reddish image that looks weird until you put on the glasses with

27
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:01,840
these glasses the cyan lines can only see the red image and the red lines can

28
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:05,600
only see the cyan image this method is really simple and it doesn't need

29
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:10,080
anything special to work aside from the cheap glasses however because color is

30
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:14,879
used to distinguish between the two images the actual perceived colors of

31
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:19,599
the final image don't look very good our next 3d method is called active shutter

32
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:24,560
you wear these active shutter glasses which block light to each of your eyes

33
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:28,000
alternatively in sync with the screen so when the screen displays an image

34
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:33,280
intended for your right eye the glasses block the left eye from seeing anything

35
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:35,680
and vice versa this is done 120 times

36
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:40,319
per second so that each eye is able to see 60 frames per second it's done so

37
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,560
rapidly that you're unable to tell that anything is even happening in theory

38
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:48,959
anyway in practice the flickering is noticeable and many people get headaches

39
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,120
from playing 3d games and watching 3d movies in this manner also active

40
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:58,879
shutter glasses are not cheap that's why the more popular option today is the

41
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:00,720
reald 3d system it uses a very special

42
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:05,040
kind of polarization to work polarization has to do with the

43
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:09,360
orientation of a wave of light light waves traveling through a linear

44
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:14,720
polarized filter will all oscillate in the same direction but using special

45
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:19,360
fancy technology a movie theater can project light waves that are circularly

46
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:24,000
polarized with entire images being either clockwise or counterclockwise

47
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:28,640
polarized your eyes don't notice anything but these glasses only allow

48
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:34,480
for clockwise polarized light into the right eye and counterclockwise polarized

49
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,840
light into the left eye voila 3d but

50
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,480
what if you don't want to have to wear glasses at all lenticular 3d is a very

51
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:44,879
clever method that doesn't require glasses you've probably seen these

52
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:50,080
before but have no idea how they work a lenticular lens is placed on top of two

53
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:54,080
or more interlaced images which will only show each of these images from

54
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:59,040
different viewing angles close up it looks something like this this method is

55
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:04,239
pretty cool it's used in printed media a lot and not just for 3d effects it can

56
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:08,560
also be used for simple animation or to morph one image into another and last

57
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:14,400
but not least we have the parallax barrier this method is used most notably

58
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,280
by the nintendo 3ds which uses two

59
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:23,199
overlapping lcd screens for its 3d effect the primary lcd screen on top

60
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:28,800
displays two interlaced images while a secondary lcd screen placed between the

61
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:33,680
primary screen and the backlight blocks the outgoing light with thin vertical

62
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:38,639
strips it's the viewing angle that determines which of the two images is

63
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:44,560
visible while there are others these are the most common 3d methods in use today

64
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:48,960
speaking of simulating 3d look there's two of us now maybe if you stare long

65
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:53,440
enough we'll turn 3d no alright then hit the road i'll handle

66
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,960
this myself this my friends is the bucket of complaints about the last ad

67
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,040
that we did for dollar shave club so today's explanation of how dollar shave

68
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,120
club works will not attempt to be funny and will instead be 100 clean and

69
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:10,960
professional just like your butt and face will be if you use their one wipe

70
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,720
charlie butt wipes and executive razor

71
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:16,400
dollar shave club saves you time by delivering high quality razors to your

72
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,919
door once a month and saves you money by charging less than brand name razors

73
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,440
that means instead of choosing between worn out razors that do a crummy job and

74
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:26,800
going to the store to pay way too much for replacement blades you can get a

75
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:31,280
great shave with a fresh blade every week there that's all there is to it so

76
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:35,280
ask yourself this for a moment do i buy razors

77
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:39,360
do i overspend so that big brands can buy super bowl ads instead of supporting

78
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,600
a business that charges a fair price for their product and uses their smaller

79
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,360
marketing budget to support creators like youtube whose work i really enjoy

80
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,080
if either of those things sounded bang on

81
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:54,240
for you then head over to dollarshaveclub.com

82
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,680
what do you have to lose other than some unwanted hair

83
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:01,120
guys like this episode as fast as possible if you liked it dislike it if

00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,520
avatar is it the 3ds is it when you take

87
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:18,240
the glasses off and put them in the bin because you've got such a splitting headache love to hear from you guys
