The newest issue of Playboy has centerfold Hope Dworaczyk in Anaglyphic stereo glory 3D. This is an attempt by owner Hugh Hefner to reclaim some falling circulation with a “clever trick” to garner new viewers. As Hef puts it, “What would people most like to see in 3-D? Probably a Naked Lady”.
“This particular picture is one example of how books and magazines are different (than computer images),” Hefner added. “You can hold it in your hands, save them, and as Dad used to, put them under the mattress.”
Sadly, Hef is either showing his age or showing his ignorance by picking the single least flattering 3D technology out there: Anaglyphic Red/Cyan. Why he didn’t pick something that would preserve some of the colors and skin tones, or possibly go Augmented Reality and link it with web video, I guess we’ll never know.
