Get out your Red-Blue glasses!

A few excerpts from a Soviet 3D movie.

The original was in color and somehow shown in a process with a special screen that did not require glasses (!) but this B&W version is impressive none-the-less.

So the russians they had a massive Nintendo 3DS parallax barrier screens in the 40's? 

Maybe. That is one explanation. They had some sort of a wire mesh in front of the screen that did that.

Another is that it was a lenticular optical screen.

I'd genuinely like to see either of those systems implemented on a big screen. It's probably not practical though because of the limits on viewing angle. The 3DS only really works if you're looking at it from straight on, so in a cinema setting it would probably not look great for anyone sat off to the sides.

I don't know. Somehow they made it work, maybe.

Some Americans in Moscow at the time saw it and were impressed by it but we don't know how easily impressed they were.

Here is an article with some details and diagrams. It says they started with a parallax barrier and later went to a lenticular screen.
