Well I got volunteered. I usually be happy they asked me for tech help but they picked on thing I have not experience with.

My niece wants to watch on the downstairs tv a 3D cartoon show she saw something like a preview for.

Now the thing is she might not be able to. I was thinking 3D red blue or 3D red cyan glasses and there are a ton of them. Now the problem is it's online and the tv in the livingroom is a sony uhd led tv set, not a 3D led tv set.

Will the simple cartoon she wants to watch work with 3D glasses on a regular tv that is like the old movies with red and blue lines that look wierd with no 3D glasses.

I personally have seen little holograms but have never watched a 3D movie in my long life.

Does anyone have some advise or just a yes or no. I've been to so many sites and read so many comments on the amazon website with anaglyph type glasses and the answers are so basic, like "works great" "doesn't work" no hardware info or anything. I'm sure the passive ones won't work. I also understand like blender these movie use a bumpmap and blue red to represent depth since a video I watched the guy simplified it to xyz =rgb can't get much easier than that.

So do paper or plastic glasses make 3D show depth on a normal led tv?

The “red and blue lens” 3D glasses were used primarily for comic books rather than film. Occasionally they were used for commercial gimmicks on television and in some lower end home video distribution. However, “passive” 3D or stereoscopic viewing typically uses polarized lenses in the glasses to “block” one version of the duplicated image in each eye. “Active” 3D was a relatively limited use technology that required powered glasses to alternately flicker each lens to full opacity in order to block a visual signal to the eye.

I remember around 2000 on IRC talking to an online friend about shutter goggles for playing games and he said unless I enjoyed massive headaches to keep clear of that shit.

It was only around $200 but disappeared soon after since they likely decided to make them to require more powerful systems like todays and then charge a ton more for them.

I really wanted to try one out on Diablo at the time since it would have been amazing to watch the monsters like in a tool video walking around in 3D but the cost was almost a weeks pay back then so I didn't though since I've never had the 3D glasses experience it was a thing I wanted to try ever since.
