Samsung and 3D Lens but no glasses

I bought 3D Lens for Samsung NX30 a few years ago. I really liked to watch 3D images from camera with dad’s 3DTV. I’ve no professional use for 3D and nowadays consumer products to view 3D are pretty hard to find in stores. Any ideas how to keep exploring 3D from my camera? What software should I get and do you believe 3D will come back for homes? Maybe I can find display + glasses for pc?

you can use free StereoPhoto Maker(SPM) from http://stereo.jpn.org/index.html to create anaglyph jpg from your .mpo-files
The few 3D TV that are still available are very expensive (in Germany), there is not much hope for more 3D equipment any more because 4K or 8K products will make more profit.

Re: Samsung and 3D Lens but no glasses

Good recommendation on SPM. As for display, consider a virtual reality viewer. A good way to get started is to get a cheap one that uses a smart phone for a display. This will help you decide if a dedicated one is worth it to you. Finally, for a 3D monitor or 3D TV, do some research to see what has been produced in the past, and then look for used ones on eBay. You'll want to search by specific make and model number since many folks, particularly with a 3D TV, many not realize that what they are selling does 3D. My recommendation would be a passive 3D TV. I've had good luck with LG 3D TVs and my Asus VG VG23AH 3D computer monitor.

A smartphone with high resolution screen (at least 2560x1440 pixels, preferable a Sony with 4k display), and a good VR device is the best solution now. There is also some software which offer you the possibility to zoom in the image and to navigate inside the image in VR mode. This is sensational.
The 3D pairs must be prepared in full size, parallel, the left image in the left position.
