Of Spider-Man Movies and Other 3D Thrillers | Psychology Today

Of Spider-Man Movies and Other 3D Thrillers | Psychology Today By Faith Brynie
I just got home after seeing The Amazing Spider-Man, and I have to admit, the childlike joy that floods my synapses during such an experience is hard to beat. I love the growing number of 3D films that are available and the thrilling entertainment they provide. But ever since I wrote Brain Sense, even simple recreational activities set me to wondering how the brain produces what the mind perceives.

To address that question, I’ve recently had the privilege of corresponding with Barry Sandrew, Ph.D., founder and CTO/CCO of Legend3D, a leading innovator in 2D-to-3D conversion technology.
