3D glasses

Have you ever been sitting in the movie theatre and then all of the sudden a man jumps out of the screen and grabs you, or at least looks like he does? Well thanks to the work of 3D glasses,  it's almost too real sitting in a movie theatre. 3D glasses play off the idea of using polarized light waves from one plane and only letting that specific light through. The glasses have little, parallel lines etched into it that only let vibrating polarized light from one particular place through. This means that each lens has a specific picture it sees, capturing two images/perspectives, tricking the brain into thinking the object is coming out of the screen at them. So overall, 3D glasses play with the different aspects of light waves to give you a better experience while watching a movie. There you have it, physics of 3D. Tune in next time for more physics phun.
