If encoded as Full Side by Side, 3D Blu-ray content can be viewed in 3D with VR headsets instead of finding a 3D compatible TV or using a compatible projector. I'm not an expert on it and I've never used it since I have a 3D TV, but I'm assuming this is what the feature was for. And porn.
Fair point. I guess I could see that being an edge case use. I had no idea they could do that.
Are 3d files easier to come by these days? Haven’t looked in years but at the height of the 3d craze, when the TVs were available (are they still a thing? Serious question since you have one), the files were hard to come by.
I don't think they make many, if any, 3D capable TVs anymore, at least in the US. Might be a different story overseas where the 3D tech took off a bit more. The files weren't too hard to find using entry-level private trackers and forums. I have an almost complete digital collection of Half Side by Side for use with my 3D TV, and I know that people were somewhat frequently posting FSBS encodes for use with VR headsets. The two formats are actually totally different, HSBS uses half of the picture on each half of the screen for the TV to combine (or something similar) so it's 3D when the glasses do their thing, whereas FSBS uses an entire image on each side, one for each eye. It's a massive PITA for preservation since compatibility with both requires two copies of the same thing, often totaling more than 30GB for good quality.
