I don't see well three dimensionally. When I didn't wear glasses, I saw in 2-D (kept glasses in the car for driving only, since I didn't need them the rest of the time) and even now, some prescription adjustments have me hugging walls for a day or two until I get used to this new concept of depth.
Oddly enough, 3-D movies and illusions always have depth for me. The first 3-D movie I saw was Kiss Me Kate which was playing at Coolidge Corner about two years before I started wearing glasses full time. I actually gasped because it was the first time in my life I'd seen something like that. (On a side note, Mom and Dad saw it with me. For the first time, Mom understood why I'd been bad at games with balls -- baseball especially. If it was a flat object which kept getting bigger rather than moving through space, of course I couldn't catch it.)
All of this is a lead up to a video I saw on slate this morning, an anamorphic rendering of a glass of water. Deeply, deeply cool.
