3d Glasses facts
While investigating facts about 3d Glasses, I found out little known, but curios details like:
A man spent 67 years of his life stereoblind, unable to experience depth perception. It was only after having to pay for 3D glasses to watch the movie Hugo that his brain suddenly clicked and he was able to experience three dimensional vision.
A man who spent almost 70 years of his life with 2D vision. It wasn't until he watched the movie Hugo with 3D glasses that his view of the world permanently changed, becoming able to see the world in 3D.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 13 of the best facts about 3d Glasses I managed to collect.

3D movie glasses are an example of the Pulfrich Effect. By tinting one lens, it causes one optical signal to take slightly longer to process than the other. The lag causes a moving 2D object to appear at 2 slightly different places, so our brain applies depth to what it “shows” us to justify it
-
Scientists proved that praying mantises are the only insect (known) that can see 3D by giving them mini-3D glasses
