3-D FlipCharts

[amajors]

Is there a way to do flipcharts in 3-D? I picked up a bunch of 3-D glasses from the grocery store about the time of the Super Bowl (there apparently were some commercials in 3-D) and thought that it would be cool to try to create a 3-D flipchart. I've been playing around with text color and position but haven't got it yet. I'm also curious to know if anyone out in Promethean Planet knows how to do 3-D videos from video files as well.

Thanks.

How fun! If you get it to work, I hope you can take pics or video of your kids with their glasses on.

Andy~ I was playing around with this idea last year when I taught dinosaurs. I went online and found some 3D pictures already made and pasted them to a flipchart page. I didn't quite get them to work how I wanted, :(so if you get it to work please share!

Actually, I tried it too but couldn't get it to work. I looked up "3d images" on the web and pasted a few of them onto a flipchart page but couldn't "see" anything showing in 3D using my cheapie 3D glasses. But maybe my glasses were not "compatible" with the images I found.

Cool idea, yes!

I googled "free 3D Software" and I am downloading an app now... I'll let you know if I get it to work!
Promethean's Ginno Kelley is a pro at this, i'll ask him to get on here and add some insight!
Wish I would have picked up those glasses during Super Bowl time!!! :rolleyes:

USGS has some spectacular 3D images. They are easily incorporated into a flipchart. One thing you may need to watch for is the way the 3D image is created. The newer technology, as seen during the superbowl, uses amber/blue filters. Most 3D glasses you can buy have the blue/red filters. I hope this helps clear it up a bit.

What is USGS?

Thanks to those who have checking this out. I'm still trying to figure it out but I've still not found the right method or procedure.

You can email me and I can get you started using 3D in your flipcharts.
