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?

It depends there are several formats.

The old way would work as it is double imposed on a single film and the glasses cause a spectroscopic field of depth from offset images.

The new way and what most things would be shot in now is less good. It requires a 3d television and special glasses to work.

There is also the dual image 3d which will put a left and right dual video up and you need special active glasses that shutter each eye alternating to produce a visual 3d image. This requires calibration.

The old way would use the red blue glasses btw

If spectroscopic is that an image with offset lines but not the same offset and overlapping red or green mess if seen with no glasses might be the closest since it's not on blueray disk or like a video game with ray tracing, like old 3D movies where you see it all on one single not split frame vert or hori just a picture with red blue lines superimposed to signify far or near like when you have redshift in space to show if moving away or toward you.

I said spectroscopic bit I meant stereoscopic sorry. They are all a form of it but they pull it off in different eays

If its streaming try streaming it and see what it looks like. If it looks like red and green wavy lines then the old school glasses will work. If it looks kinda blurry all the time then it needs a 3d TV. If it's two side by side or top and bottom videos it needs active shutter glasses.
