Whale shark feeding in 3D (GoPro 3D)

5 posts
  1. Here is a 3D video of a whale shark feeding at the surface during a huge whale shark aggregation in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. I shot it on August 15, 2011, using a GoPro 3D HERO System and an Eye of Mine 3D flat lens housing (a flat lens is required for a GoPro to focus properly underwater).

    The video is best viewed at 720p in some sort of 3D mode.



    If you own a 3D display at home, you can download a higher-quality side-by-side version for local display (~99MB; link is good for 500 downloads; if it fails, please let me know). The downloadable video is still highly-compressed and doesn't quite convey the same 3D coolness that original version does, but it is still effective!

  2. Looks great on my 3D monitor. You're exhibiting some good backwards-finning skills there by the look of it! I flooded one of my two gopros in the 3D housing in the Red Sea :-( might have to invest in a new one soon.

  3. Would not work too good through my Sony Bravia, I think it uses a different method to display 3D or something.

    So I downloaded the side by side file and did the cross eyed thing, worked then :-)

     

    Edit: just worked out the TV.

    Play the side by side file and put the TV on Side by Side 3D Mode and bingo.

    Looks good Eric.

  4. The download and cross-eyed thing shouldn't work because it's L-R and not R-L. You do get a 3D effect, but it won't be the right one. :)

     

    My Panasonic auto-detects side-by-side content and switches modes. Takes a few seconds, but seems to work well!

  5. Wow! That's very nice video. Thanks for sharing.
