22. "2D is compressed 3D" Tips for viewing stills or photos converted to 3D by TV or .....

Best advice-- experiment with settings. I first set all TV 3D settings to max, to see effect, later reset to lower if needed. Use the Ken Burns effect as found in many slide show software like Picasa. The motion/panning and especially the zooming involved intensify the effect. Move a bit closer to the TV- it increases the perceived depth. Or put a still image up-- watch it for longer than usual-- many times you will see the depth DEVELOP AND INCREASE, or scan different parts of the image and see depth you had not realized. Try many different types of photos and art as depth cues of some type are needed. I understand results vary also depending on quality of conversion built into your electronics, the Samsung 2011 D8000 does it well. I like the real time conversion due to ease and good results , you can also get software and do conversions manually, but I am so happy with results that haven't done it yet...... tomorrow?
