YouTube Video in 3D is Coming Anyway.
It’s formal: you can’t escape 3D. At the moment, James Cameron’s epic disaster romance Titanic is back in theaters after 15 years. Why? Because at the present it’s in 3D. So, in the age of 3D blockbusters, 3D televisions and 3D smartphones, it makes sense that YouTube in 3D wouldn’t be far behind as well. According to YouTube’s blog, the site will now be automatically converting all 1080p videos into 3D. Meaning, you can select 3D viewing in the Quality settings (click on the gear icon) on the YouTube player, then pop on your 3D glasses and see YouTube in another dimension. Here’s one of our favorites: Video!
YouTube has had a tool in beta for a while now that lets people convert their own videos into 3D. Now, though, it will be doing all of the work for you, meaning your smartphone masterpieces will ultimately be converted for all the world — or the small percentage who have 3D glasses at home for some reason — to wonder at. To view videos in 3D, all you have to do is click on the gear icon, which will present you with an option to watch the video in another dimension. Google has been improving its converting abilities by studying the original 3D videos uploaded to the site for insight on depth estimation and other video characteristics. Why is Google doing this? Fairly, I have no knowledge. I can’t imagine tons of people were demanding for this feature. Still, it’s coming, so you might as well go out and purchase some 3D glasses to watch delightful videos the way they were meant to be seen… alone in your room with comical eyewear on.
