The system that is said to require no glasses requires you to sit in the " Head in a vice" sweet spot. There is no way to make 3D viable in room to multiple viewers without glasses to give the effect.

Avatar's success was based on a big screen experience and much hype. There is NO, ZIP, ZERO consumer demand for home 3D. Before Avatar did you hear any? Do not assume a lot of people going out to a movie theatre to watch a 3D movie as Avatar with any credible effect to consumers wanting to buy into it for home. Unless you have say an 90inch or larger screen t.v.s in home are TOO SMALL to be immersive and will only be a tiring gimmick forcing viewer to wear silly glasses all of time. Add the fact that the movie and t.v show makers will only use 3D in gimmicky and unnatural ways (as past 3D movies have demonstrated going back some 50 years. Don't forget 3D is nothing new) will add to the tiring effect of it all. Then again add as I said the lower contrast, brightness, colour and resolution well it's not a sustaining product effort. As I said 4K t.v. is the direction industry should go.
