Here is a true stereoscopic 3D trailer for the movie Alice in Wonderland shared by the reader twisterbr that you can download and watch in 3D. We are a bit late with this one as the movie has been out for quite some time now, but since the movie studios do not release publicly stereoscopic 3D trailers yet it is still quite hard to get your hands on any of these promotional materials. Do not ask me why Hollywood is not taking this advantage in order to promote their 3D movies to the hungry for 3D content crowd and still act so weird by guarding the 3D trailers more then the actual movies!

Anyway, the trailer is in true stereoscopic 3D format and not an autoconversion, although the movie Alice in Wonderland was actually shot in 2D and later converted to 3D, but unlike with some other titles the conversion process here was actually done quite well… and you can see that for yourself if you watch the trailer. The trailer itself is in Side by Side format, 1080p half horizontal resolution (squashed), so do not forget to select 16:9 aspect ratio when opening the video in the 3D Vision Video Player or the Stereoscopic Player. As usual your comments about the 3D video are welcome, so please do share them below after watching it…

If you are tired of wearing those uncomfortable and ugly looking disposable passive polarized 3D glasses that you get each time in the cinema, then you have some options. There are already a few companies that offer much better looking, better built, even better performing and of course more expensive passive polarized 3D glasses designed for movie theaters using RealD technology for projecting and viewing the 3D content (circular polarization). Among the most recent companies that started to exploit this new market are Gunnar Optiks and MicroVision Optical…

Gunnar Optiks currently offers only two different models of 3D Movie glasses from its Attache collection – the Anime and Phenom. Both models are with a price of $99 USD, which you can consider a bit high, but I like more the design of these glasses and the build quality is better. So if you go to watch 3D movies more often and prefer to watch them in a 3D Cinema equipped with RealD, then these glasses may be completely worth it instead of using the cheap plastic ones that you get in the cinema. Gunnar Optiks is claiming that their glasses are also superior in terms of optical quality thus making the 3D experience even better when watching a 3D move with them…

Microvision Optical offers a bit bigger assortment of RealD-compatible 3D Movie glasses. They have total of 29 different models that are separated in 8 product lines, so you have a lot more options here to choose from. These glasses are all plastic and a bit cheaper than the Gunnar Optiks’ models, Macrovision Optical’s 3D glasses cost between $30 and $35 USD a pair. Microvision Optical claims to have superior optics in their products as well as that their 3D glasses can be worn like a normal pair of sunglasses when you are not watching a 3D movie. The reason for that being is the fact that the lenses they use also block 100% the UVA and UVB ultraviolet light from the sun, just like a good pair of normal sunglasses, but unlike other traditional 3D glasses.

The guys over at biohemmet.se have found and made available a stereo 3D trailer of the movie Tangled (Rapunzel) that is expected to be available in 3D cinemas around the end of November. The trailer can give you a good idea about what to expect in terms of 3D from the movie, although the quality is not perfect. The 3D video is in 1080p half horizontal resolution (squashed) so you should select 16:9 aspect ratio and use the Side by Side format when opening it in the 3D Vision Video Player or the Stereoscopic Player. The audio is also a bit lower than expected, so you may have to increase the volume, but other than that and the bit blurry image it is fine. And form what I’ve seen in the trailer the movie seems like it is going to be fun to watch, so I’m noting it in my list of movies to see. Don’t forget to leave your comments about the video if you download and watch it…
