Youtube 3D Coming at You

According to a thread which appeared on Youtube over the weekend, an engineer at Youtube is experimenting with 3D. Known as YT3D (You Tube 3D), this is still largely in the experimental stage, and because this is a “20% project,” it is not this engineer’s primary focus. It is hard to say when this capability will become available.

Incidentally, to view this 3D video, you do need those hokey cardboard 3D glasses, the kind which were popular with horror If this video doesn’t appear properly as posted on my blog, you can view this test video online on Youtube at:

Although this is certainly light years away, imagine the day that youtube morphs into a site that delivers holograms to your desktop. It could happen.
