   some interesting details, like the cart in the back left corner:

   

   and the wall to my right, all a facade

   and in the bay to the left, they were filming in 3D
   
   I learned some interesting things about 3D viewing as an acquired skill. The eye naturally zooms in on the close items, and so the traditional print and 2D film technique of using wide-aperture (narrow depth of field) for directing attention to forward or rear elements does not carry over into 3D. Instead, variations in light and dark are typically used. Hard cuts with different depths of focus causes strain as we are actually focusing on the screen the whole time with the muscles of our eye, and jumps in the z-buffer of our minds are unpleasant.

   possible another side of the coin. more in
   "http://www.mediacollege.com/3d/depth-perception/stereoblind.html"

   (1) one paragraph quoted below.
   "Stereo-Blind: People who can’t see 3D
   Not everyone is loving the 3D craze. Depending on which expert you listen to, between 2 and 12 percent of all viewers are unable to appreciate video shown in 3D. There are two possible reasons for not being able to watch 3D movies or television:

   You are unable to see the 3D effect.
   You are able to see the 3D effect but it has unacceptable side-effects such as headaches and nausea.
   If you are unable to see the 3D effect at all, you may be stereo-blind, otherwise referred to as having monocular vision, being a flat-viewer or lacking depth perception. The most common reasons for stereo-blindness are:

   Medical disorders that prevent the eyes focusing and/or aligning correctly (e.g. amblyopia, strabismus, optic nerve hypoplasia).
   Loss of vision in one eye.
   If you are able to see the 3D effect but it causes you discomfort, you may have a mild binocular disorder.

   If you aren’t sure about your 3D vision, take our quick online depth perception test.

   Note: A person who is able to see in full 3D is called stereo-acute."

   (2) Another paragraph read
   "Can you learn to see in 3D?
   Traditionally it was thought that depth perception could only be learnt in infancy, and that stereo-blind adults could never become stereo-acute. However this belief has changed and many optometrists now offer equipment and training to help people acquire true binocular vision. According to numerous reports and testimonials, people who never realised what they were missing have found a new way to view the world. An interesting example is related in the book Fixing My Gaze by neuroscientist Susan R. Barry, who gained stereoscopic vision at the age of 48."

   Until "3d" viewing does NOT require OPTICALLY degrading and uncomfortable plastic goggles, it’s nothing but an exhibition exploitation trick. "Here, watch this high def movie through a pair of 10 cent plastic filters with optical quality akin to a sheet of saran wrap. PLEEEZE.

   ps: that spiderman alley set looks like a place Cheney would waterboard someone. 😉
