Today a really puzzling thing occurred to me. I was told to put a red
transperency over my right eye and watch a pendulum spring in front of me. It
appeared as if the pendulum was swinging around in a circle. As I took off the
red film the pendulum was swinging its normal period. The red film affected my
viewing somehow. Does anyone have an explanation? What do you call this effect?
This effect was also used 3 or 4 years ago during the half time at the
superbowl, where Coca Cola made a big promotion on how they made 3D appear to
everyone watching the halftime show. One can only see the 3D effect if he/she is
looking at this viewpoint: ----

Any feedback would be appreciated.
