The intention of this page is to describe how to use VLC to watch 3D video. Please add to it if you can.

==3D Display Technologies==

Generally there are three widely use 3D display technologies, all based on the principles of stereoscopic projection:

* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_image Anaglyph] - red/green or red/blue images with glasses filtering out one colour or the other
* Polarisation - technique used in cinemas, with two images projected with different polarisations, a silvered screen and polarised glasses
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal_shutter_glasses Shutter Glasses] - technique used by the new 3D televisions, where each alternating frame represent the left or right views.
