8 49 How to View 3D How THeaTer 3D works Because our eyes have space between them, when we look around, we see two slightly different pictures. We never notice, because we are able to combine these pictures into one three- dimensional image. The VIZIO Theater 3D HDTV takes advantage of this phenomenon to create a stunning 3D image. When displaying 3D content, the 3D HDTV actually displays two separate images at the same time—one for each eye. Because Theater 3D glasses only allow each eye to see its intended image, your brain is able to process the picture in the same way as any other object you see. The final result is a stunning, life-like 3D picture. wHaT You NeeD To View 3D CoNTeNT To view 3D content, you will need:• VIZIO Theater 3D HDTV • 3D Blu-ray ™ player with a Blu-ray 3D™ disc (sold separately) • VIZIO Theater 3D Glasses • 3D-Ready HDMI cable (sold separately) waTCHiNg Blu-raY 3D CoNTeNT To view Blu-ray 3D content: 1 .
