It's been a pain on the eyes this week, watching cross-eyed to get a faux sense of depth and a squished picture.
Does that genuinely work, or am I the only person who's eyes blur when he crosses his eyes?
Somewhat, a bit like those Magic Eye images. It's best to start with a static picture to allow your eyes to focus on the combined image.
However, you'll be using the wrong eyes to focus on the wrong images so it doesn't work properly (plus you're only getting half the width) - but it
does
work on some YouTube's 3D videos which are encoded for that very way of viewing.
You can get the effect with this video. Set it to side by side, (and if your eyes can cope, full width rather than half width) and swap images left to right so the panel marked with an L (in the middle) is on the right and vice-versa, cross your eyes - relax them and focus and you'll see the 3D effect.

Took some practice but I got there. I cross my eyes so that I see double and then slowly cross them more until the two images come together (I focus on the ball in the middle). Then after a few seconds my eyes focus so its no longer blurry.
Sky have announced that Sky1+1 and Sky Atlantic+1 will launch in the autumn.
Stuart Murphy, director of Sky entertainment channels, made the announcement at the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival yesterday.
Sky1+1 is a horrid name but what can you do. It'll be good to have a bit more flexibility when recording Atlantic shows, though. It's often problematic when I want to record two or three programmes on Sky and the BBC, as neither have timeshift channels.
So? ITV1+1 already exists. How is Sky1+1 any different?
They're both bad names in my opinion.
But they are what they say on the tin. What would you prefer? "Sky1 An hour later"?
I can understand Sky having +1 channels given their catch up services aren't as widely available as the likes of the BBC. I still think Atlantic doesn't hold it's value as much as it did at launch, so I still don't see why they won't let it on Virgin. I know it's something exclusive to hang on to, but it's slowly becoming what Sky2 should be.
