Active shutter 3D system
Have you ever watched a 3D movie at a theater? It's really cool, right? It looks like the characters and objects are popping out of the screen! Well, one way to make 3D movies is by using something called an active shutter 3D system.
How does it work? In an active shutter 3D system, the movie is actually projected onto the screen twice, once for each eye. But your eyes can only see one image at a time, so this system helps trick your eyes into seeing the two images as one 3D image.
The system works by using special glasses that you wear while watching the movie. These glasses have lenses that are actually little shutters, or tiny windows that can open and close very quickly. When you put on the glasses, they sync up with the movie projector and the shutters on the glasses open and close at the same time as the two different images of the movie are projected onto the screen.
For example, the left lens might close when the image being shown is meant for the right eye, and vice versa. This way, each eye only sees the image intended for it at that exact moment, and the movie looks like it's coming out of the screen in 3D!
So, when you wear the glasses and watch a movie that's made with an active shutter 3D system, your eyes see one image for a split second, and then quickly switch to seeing the other image. This happens back and forth many times each second, so your brain ends up seeing one combined 3D image that looks like it's popping out of the screen!
In summary, active shutter 3D system uses special glasses to help trick your eyes into seeing two different images as one 3D image, by quickly switching which image each eye sees with little shutters in the glasses.
