And so sad. Of course, that wasn't my intention with the post.

3D has a ways to go before it will be welcomed in my home. Right now, it's just more fake than real. And what success is guaranteed by scaring off pregnant women and teenagers, the core audience for all things video?

That depends on the type of movie and implementation of the 3D effects.

Some films I've seen are very impressive, and the 3D television from JVC that was demonstrated at last years Siggraph impressed me quite a bit, dependent upon the programming presented.

Personally, I don't see 3D as being something that folks will want to watch all the time or with certain kinds of programming. Where 3D seems to work best is with digital animation, HD filmed nature documentaries and "some" action features. OTOH, taking things to a third dimension stereoscopically will never satisfy everyone, nor should it.

I look at the polarized lens 3D potential as much more than a novelty, but much less of an entertainment life changer. In any event, the theatrical success of the medium is a good indication that it's here to stay in one form or another and HT is the obvious next application. Is the technology ready for "prime time" and are we ready for it is another matter.

Cheers,

  Now that would be interesting, although I'm sure they'd come up with something like 3-DD for marketing purposes.
