How to Watch Free Online 3D Movies

The popularity of 3D movies in theaters has spread to the internet, where larger budget 3D productions compete with home-made 3D videos for the viewer's attention. Stereo videos can now be found online on websites ranging from the smaller, personally owned 3Dmovies.com to large, well-funded sites like Vimeo. YouTube even has created a special tag for uploaders to put in their videos (yt3d:enable=true) that adds a 3D pull-down menu to the video, allowing the viewers 12 ways to watch the video, 10 of them in 3D, and only seven requiring 3D glasses.
