>> Hi. My name is Pete Bradshaw, and I'm a
software engineer here at YouTube.
At YouTube, we're constantly inspired by the
amazing things our users do on the site.
One thing we noticed recently is that many
users up load 3-D videos. These videos consist
of a pair of images combined in one of a number
of ways.
This means that if you want to experience
the 3-D, you sometimes have to cross your
eyes, you sometimes have to look through,
and sometimes you have to wear colored glasses
of a particular type.
This is all really cool, but it has an unfortunate
side effect.
When you come to the site, if you don't have
the right-colored glasses, you can't watch
a particular video.
We decided to fix this.
We added this tag.
If you add this tag to your video's tags,
then you will notice there's a new drop down
underneath the video.
This lets the user select how they want to
watch your 3-D content, expanding your audience.
The community response to this so far has
been amazing.
We have been blown away.
And we're really excited to see what you guys
make with it.
So get out there and make some 3-D.
