When you watch 3d in a cinema, there are 2 separate projector picture (1 for each eye) combined in 1 picture. You're wearing glasses to have the combined picture split back into 2 (in your head). E.g. in IMAX an image for each eye has different polarization (as well as the lens of glasses).

SO
theoretically

YES you can pirate 3D even in a cinema if:
* you've got 2 cameras
* each cam has it's own "decoding" lens/filter
* the cam can shoot at least 60fps (i might be wrong here)
* you're using camera rig to have the cameras fixed on proper interaxial and convergence point
The signal is encoded afterwards to combine it in shitty shutterglass 3D or even shittier anaglyph 3D video.
Anyways even if that works the quality is gonna be awful, and I suppose you'll get nausea and headache while watching this.

If anybody's gonna test the method - plz hit me up afterwards, I want to see the results.
