YouTube introduces support for 3D videos

YouTube is appealing for more users to start uploading their video clips in 3D.

The web video giant this week said that the popularity of 3D movies at the cinema had prompted them to launch the service which adds a 3D effect to some videos at the touch of a button.

Users select whether to watch the clip while wearing odd looking glasses like the red and blue ones you used to get in the 80s, or even create the 3D effect by going cross-eyed.

YouTube say that to have the 3D option videos need to be shot on two cameras held "like a pair of eyes" edited to appear side by side and then have the tag "yt3d:enable=true" added to their info.

Great, now we can see videos of dumbass people playing pranks on each other or videos of their cats yawning ... in 3D.
