How To Upload 3D Videos to YouTube

You may have seen our post a while back about the tags for YouTube's 3D player. A few months ago, YouTube updated their video uploader so you can now set your video to be 3D via the Advanced Settings while uploading. Today's video walks you through the simple steps to share your 3D video with the world.

3D Webseries: Platform 2c

Today I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon Platform 2c, a UK-based 3D soap opera webseries produced by NFD Productions and directed by Richard Connew.






While the performances and the production value vary from episode to episode, it is admirable to see people dedicated to producing a steady stream of 3D web content. You can find episodes from all four series on their YouTube channel. 

From their website:


"Platform 2c is a weekly quirky eclectic soap opera whose story takes place connected to and around people who use and live near Platform 2cin the Yorkshire village of Milford.  Platform 2c is unique in that all episodes are produced in 2D and digital 3D versions. Our first episode went live Sunday August 28th 2011 and we have been producing one ever since. Our format is a mini episode of around 3 mins each week ten of which go to make up a series of around 25/30 mins total playing time which equates to a standard TV soap opera episode. This will develop over time into a daily soap opera. Platform 2c is entirely non profit making and self funded with everyone involved putting in their time for free."

Nintendo 3DS now shoots 3D video!

Nintendo's 3DS, the portable 3D gaming system, now has a firmware upgrade to allow users to shoot 3D video. The latest version of StereoMovie Maker allows users to output side-by-side files from the footage. This was announced earlier this month, but we wanted to wait until some user-created 3D videos emerged to post about it. Check out the samples below. Don't expect any mind-blowing quality from these, but it is exciting to see 3D video becoming more and more accessible.
