As an animator I keep abreast of developments in that industry. Today I read a post in 'Mayerson on Animation' about the upcoming transition of computer animated movies to stereoscopic 3D versions. To properly see the stereoscopic effect people will need to look through special circular polarized lenses, which will filter images in such a way that their brains will be able to create a 3D effect.
What motivated me to post this on a religious/spiritual blog is the clarity with which it makes the 'man-made' world, in contrast with Reality. Most people don't realize that how they see reality, and the agreement they seem to have with others in viewing it this way, is really FALSE. This 'disconnection' is the correct meaning of the Christian word 'sin'. Sin is not something you do, such as hitting someone in anger, but about not living as the real you, or 'missing the mark' (being a real person within Reality). IGNORANCE is probably the closest Buddhist term which describes the same process of alienation and fragmentation. It's broad meaning points to disconnection with what IS.

"...as a society, we take in visual information faster now than in the past. I remember reading an interview with Ward Kimball who talked about having to trim older Disney shorts when they played on television as they were paced too slowly for the TV audience. I don't doubt that with greater exposure to 3D imagery, the audience as a whole will be better at deciphering what's in front of them, ...."
'Deciphering' could be reworded as 'indoctrination'. People are trained to 'see' in a new way, an artificial way. Preoccupation with artifice causes people to lose connection with the REAL, which creates more alienation and fragmentation. Fragmentation supports fragmentation, that's why 'works' doesn't resolve the problem. Only by relinquishing their biases and artifices can people come back into 'alignment' with Reality.
Here's a warning from Christian NT writings about such alienation-
Luke 17:33 "Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it."
