SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the compatibility of IMAX 3D and RealD 3D with individuals who have a lazy eye, specifically in the context of watching the movie "Suicide Squad." It is established that traditional 3D systems require both eyes to process images for a 3D effect, which may not be feasible for someone with a lazy eye, as their brain ignores input from one eye. Participants concluded that it is advisable for individuals with a lazy eye to opt for a non-3D showing to avoid wasting money, although trying a 3D experience once could provide personal insight.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of 3D cinema technology, specifically IMAX and RealD 3D systems.
  • Basic knowledge of visual perception and conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye).
  • Familiarity with the concept of binocular vision and its role in depth perception.
  • Awareness of different movie formats and their visual requirements.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between IMAX and RealD 3D technologies.
  • Learn about amblyopia and its effects on visual processing.
  • Explore alternative viewing options for individuals with visual impairments.
  • Investigate the impact of 3D films on viewers with varying visual capabilities.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for individuals with visual impairments, film enthusiasts considering 3D experiences, and healthcare professionals seeking to understand the implications of visual conditions in entertainment settings.

I know I'm not in the right space for thise, nor smart enough to be here, but iplan on seeing Suicide Squad Friday at IMAX. Icant use those red and green glasses they have because I have a azy eye and the don't work compatibly with each other. I just heard of IMAX RelD 3D and was wondering if it would help, if its worth it, or if I should just sit back and watch the movie like a gentleman. Thanks.

If I understand what a "lazy eye" is correctly, your brain is ignoring the input from one eye. If so, then I don't think any 3D system would work since they all require that your brain process the input from both eyes to generate a 3D image. I'd save your money and watch a non-3D showing. Of course, you could try it out this once and see how it works for you. Then you'd know for sure.

This is correct. My good eye sees about 90% of my vision while my bad eye sees about `10%. Thanks for your response. I'm sure Ill enjoy it in regular imax, anyways.
