Q&A: Can a person with one eye see a 3D movie if they use a binocular to monocular device?

Question by XGP_Outlaw: Can a person with one eye see a 3D movie if they use a binocular to monocular device?
My friend was born not being able to see out of one eye~
Of course this makes seeing a 3D movie in clarity imposible.
I just saw the new movie Avatar and it is AMAZING.. it’s become one of my favorite movies (when I’m even usually kinda against 3D movies.. and even with all the hype there was already)
It’s a movie I think she enjoy immensely, but with one eye it kinda makes it difficult.

So I was wondering: is there any–or would it even be possible–“Y” shaped device that would convert a monocular view to a binocular one? (or visa-versa?) And would it work for a modern 3D movie?
For this I’m meaning the newer “circular polarized” 3D that doesn’t quite use the blue/red technology.

And also, I don’t mean that she should be able to she it in 3D.. just be able to see it as a 2D version without it being blurry.

He still only has one working retina and would see any image as monocular anyway.

Both retinas would have to receive an image that the brain can overlap before 3D would work.

Two images couldn’t be produced on the same retina , which is basically what your idea would have to do.
