What type of 3D glasses would I need to view this image?

I was wondering about different types of 3D glasses. I don't like the color distortion caused by wearing red-cyan glasses, but I wanted a way to view 3D images on my computer or non-3D television. I was intrigued when I heard about row-interleaved 3D, but I didn't know what kind of glasses I would need to view images such as this one. Can these images be viewed with some type of passive 3D glasses? 98.18.147.106 (talk) 00:57, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

On the previous gallery page that image is on, it advises using Liquid Crystal Shutter (LCS) glasses or some Head Mounted Displays to view the 3D row-interleaved GIF format. --Canley (talk) 23:46, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

You could use passive 3D glasses if you had a 3D monitor or 3D TV supporting such passive 3D glasses. (Normally because the display itself has row interleaved polarisation.) Nil Einne (talk) 15:34, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Since we don't have an article or redirect, (passive 3D glasses) here's a source: "What Are the Different Types of 3D Glasses?". Lifewire. --2606:A000:4C0C:E200:C03A:9D20:31EF:82F7 (talk) 19:06, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Another option (not for that image, but in general) is to have two separate images, one for each eye. Cell phones often use this split-screen method. It's a bit annoying to use on a computer, because you would need a physical barrier extending from the center of the screen to your face, and you would need to stay in the same position while viewing. But, no special electronic equipment is needed and it would avoid any color distortion or flickering. Google "dual 3D images" for some examples you can try.

Poker Set

What is a "Poker Set"? I've just found some information about the most expensive "Poker Set" and I wonder what is that. Is that used for playing Poker? —  Ark25  (talk) 11:49, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes, it's a case containing poker equipment (playing cards, poker chips, dealer button). ---Sluzzelin talk 12:03, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Funny. Depending on how many chips there are of each denomination, their face value is somewhere around the actual cost ($7.5 million) of the set. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:27, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I've made the redirect - Poker set to Poker equipment. —  Ark25  (talk) 09:42, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Just out of curiousity: I followed the link you gave and I'm not sure what was confusing you. There are multiple pictures there; it's clearly a set of equipment meant for playing poker. The chips, while fancy, are pretty clearly similar to the ones in the poker article you linked to. I'm in no way denigrating your decision to ask the question here - there are no dumb questions - but as a frequent contributor and editor I'm genuinely curious about what things cause confusion and what things allow for understanding.
