the other, in a different direction Glasses with polarized lenses allow only light waves vibrating in a certain direction to reach each eye Flickering Lights Most 3-D TVs use the frame sequential method to create a 3-D effect You still need special eyeglasses, which are a bit bulky because they require batteries The electricity quickly changes the two lenses from clear to dark The lenses change very rapidly When one lens is clear, the other is dark They flip back and forth between light and dark more than 100 times a second—so fast, in fact, that each lens looks gray Those flippings are synchronized with the TV, which rapidly flashes between two different images The TV and the glasses work together When the TV flashes the image meant for the right eye, the right lens is clear and the left lens is dark Then the TV flashes the image meant for the left eye, and the glasses switch so the left lens is clear Moon.vn - Học để khẳng định Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 Khóa IELTS FOUNDATION GV: Hồng Hạnh Facebook: HongHanhIELTSMoon.vn Those changes are so quick that your brain doesn’t consciously notice It processes the images to create a smooth 3-D scene “The brain is sensitive to flicker,” Schowengerdt says, “but once you have more than around 60 flashes per second people tend not to see flicker.” The TVs I saw could flash up to 240 images per second How 3-D TV Works You see the world in three dimensions because you have two eyes set slightly apart, each one taking in a slightly different image of the world Your brain puts those two images together to form a 3-D view Three-D TV works in much the same way, enabling the eyes to see what’s happening on the screen from two different perspectives All movies and TV shows are a stream of thousands of images flashed on the screen On a 3-D TV, each image appears in two versions The first version of the image can be seen through only one lens of the 3-D eyeglasses that each TV watcher wears The second first version of the image can be seen only through the other lens of the eyeglasses The viewer’s brain puts the two versions together to form a 3-D view The next set of two images then appears one after another The process repeats itself for thousands of pairs of images Questions 21-30: Gap fill Fill in the blanks with NO MORE THAN ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER 21 Brian Schowengerdt says the (21) _ we get to creating a natural perception environment, the more you feel like you’re in a (22) 22 On a 3-D TV, each image appears in (23) _ versions 23 The first version of the image can be seen through only 3-D (24) _ lens that each TV watcher wears The second first version of the image can be seen only through the (25) eyeglasses lens 24 The human eye (26) _ see in 3-D 25 The brain (27) _ the different image from each eye and (28) _ the images to create three dimensions 26 New 3-D movies use (29) light to direct a separate image to each eye 27 Schowengerdt says the brain is (30) to flicker but once you have more than around (31) _ flashes per second people tend not to see flicker.” Giáo viên Hồng Hạnh Nguồn Moon.vn - Học để khẳng định Moon.vn Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 ...Khóa IELTS FOUNDATION GV: Hồng Hạnh Facebook: HongHanhIELTSMoon.vn SECTION A GOOD NIGHT It happens every night—bedtime But what... have nightmares Moon.vn - Học để khẳng định Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 Khóa IELTS FOUNDATION GV: Hồng Hạnh Facebook: HongHanhIELTSMoon.vn 12 Imagine you can’t sleep because you are excited about what... before going to bed?
