Unfortunately, I don't think it's still showing in movie theaters and I highly doubt you have a 3D TV...




This has got nothing to do with modern or ancient 3D technology: if you mostly lost *your* stereoscopic vision, there's nothing to be done about it. You can't watch the world in 3D anymore, and that includes 3D movies. Technology isn't magic.

That's because I have a convergence deficiency - but since stereoscopy presents different images to each eye, there's no convergence required. Voila! 3D movies look more real than real life. Magic!

I'm not sure how that would work if you eyes have different focal points, though. It might or it might not - someone should try it and report back.
Actually with both eyes open my ordinary 3-D vision is just fine. It is just that when my left eye is closed images at a distance are sharper than with both eyes open. Just the opposite when my right eye is closed.


Thank you both for the recommendations. I must make the trip to a theater showing a 3-D film sometime soon. Unfortunately my local theater is just not equipped for it, I suspect I will have to travel at least a 100 miles to find such a theater.
