It is possible to watch it without any extra remedies. We did this at school, many years ago.. Some of us used pen and paper and made 3D drawings consisting of two adjacent images. With just a little practice, you can make your eyes watch them as a single image, and you get the 3D effect. As the interest for this evolved, we started to take 3D pictures with a still camera, glued two adjacent images on a paper, and watched them the same way.

The trick is to act like the images are closer to your face than they really are, to force youre eyes to change angle. When this is done, adjust the sharpness. Yes, that's it.

I was able to watch this video in 3D, using this technique.

I'm not sure it matters whether this is Youtube or not. The technique used will work on any output channel/medium/site/player/etc, whether that output be "3D-ready" or not.

True however it's seem that every possible way of presenting it is muxed into the one stream. On the downside that might explain the 1 fps playback I was getting.

i got full playback speed & changed viewing options while watching. pretty neat!

reminds me of the version of quake 2 someone once made where the whole game was in 3d if you use the crosseyed technique. Just image interacting with it vs watching it. :D

I used the cross-eyed approach but the whole time I could hear my mum's voice in my head saying, "you better stop or your eyes will get stuck like that."
