Watch it Now: San Francisco Time-Lapse in 3D

This new 3D time-lapse video has me so pumped! A tribute to the lovely city of San Francisco, it features scenes from in and around the bay including a cameo by typewriter remix artist Jeremy Mayer in the beginning seconds.

What get’s me really going though, is the way this 3D technology is being made available to the masses. Shot with a two Canon 5D’s, the short uses Youtube’s new 3D feature, allowing viewers to select between a number of different viewing methods. You can select from various anaglyph (colored glasses) and stereo modes, so if you have a pair of red and blue 3D glasses laying around, you can view the video that way. If you’re looking for a more realistic 3D view, and for those familiar with the old Magic Eye books, there’s a “cross eyed” method that works perfectly: simply cross your eyes until the white dots at the top of the video match up. Captivating!

Want to try Youtube’s 3D feature? Select the view type by clicking “3D” and then “Change viewing method”:

  1. Thanks, Benjamin!
    If you have NVIDIA 3D Vision, you can either try the HTML5 stereo mode on YouTube or visit NVIDIA’s 3D Vision Live where they are featuring the video in stereo 3D:
