Airshows in 3D
Hey, if James Cameron can do it, so can we. What better subject to view in three dimensions than an airshow? So we asked our friends at LightSpeedMedia to capture airshow scenes with the 3D camera they’ve developed. Then we asked Vision III Imagery to process the photographs so you can see them in 3D without wearing special glasses.
Vision III’s process creates the illusion of depth by digitally combining the stereoscopic images and rapidly switching back and forth between them. Too much jiggle? Hit the off button. The airplanes are also cool in two dimensions.

I'm really excited about the development of glasses-less three-dimensional imaging, and I eagerly clicked on this site hoping to see some aircraft videos in 3-D. Although I'm connected to the 'net at 100KBPS and have permitted the site to simmer for several minutes, I have not seen that there are any videos to view. Am I doing something wrong?
Best Regards,

EDITORS' REPLY: No, nothing wrong. Those are (except for the jittering) still images, not videos.

I read the Editors Reply to Mr. Merrill and have to agree there is not much to see and the stills are not "jittering."
Thanks for the great work you guys do on the magazine. It's great to have a forum in which to complain about a product of such unsurpassed quality. Jeffrey P. Ross Sgt. USAF

(EDITOR'S NOTE: If you’re having trouble seeing the 3-D effect, check that you have the current version of flash installed on your computer: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ )

Can You tell me if there is a plane from WWII that has Red Crosses on the wings etc.. Used mainly over Japan at the end of the WAR....
It is before my time, but was discussed on a Computer VOIP program... The fella who brought it up was near the signing at the end of the WAR in Japan.. He was saying that the plane had Red Crosses under the wings, and the body...
Can you put an insight to this Aircarft???....

You are probably speaking of the Betty bomber used to transport the Japanese dignataries to sign the surrender.
