The application of polarization
in 3d Glasses


How it works
Glasses used to watch stereoscopic 3D movies contain two polarizing filters. These filters
are coated with two optical isomers of carbon which are also known as "Enantiomers". These
isomers have the characteristic of rotating the plane of polarized light.One of the glass is coated
with a dextrorotatory isomer which rotates all the light clockwise.(that is all light passing
through it is vertically polarized) the other one is coated with the levorotatory isomer (it rotates
all light anticlockwise and all light passing through is horizontally polarized).
Viewers cannot tilt their heads when using linear polarizes because it causes parallax
errors and headaches because the brain is unable to interpret the image properly.
