Your thoughts on the current 3D hype.

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

I'll explain my thinking first.

I am not a fan of the 3D thing, but I can see that it's where we're going, so I'm keeping an eye on things, just to see how it's progressing. As far as I understand it, all current 3D stuff involves the old dual-image merge through coloured glasses.

I'm never one to rush out for new tech, mainly due to the prices, so I was happy to take a back seat. Then I recently saw the whole 3DS thing, which showed that glasses really weren't necessary, and my instant thought was 'it'd be great if they could transfer that to everything else, and not just the small screen of a handheld system.'

Then I was provided with this link, which as I understand it shows just what I was thinking about.

In closing, or in short for those that didn't read the waffle: Is this already the beginning of the end for current 3D TVs, as they'll soon be superceded, or do you reckon it'll swing another way?

i like 3d movies when it's used well. coraline is the best example i can think of. nothing live-action in 3d has appealed to me yet. 3d games will probably be great once the technology is there.

I agree about the games thing, but I was thinking more of the TVs themselves, and having to use glasses. Is this already the end for those TVs?

Also, Coraline was the first blu-ray I watched on an HDTV, and it was great - visually, and the movie.

obviously the glasses thing isn't going to last. might catch on for a while but i think consumers are smarter than that, especially with the 3ds coming out so soon.

This is the true end of humanity. Never mind your nuclear war or virus options. Quite simply, nobody will copulate ever again.

the glasses will. 3d as a technology though isn't going to go away i don't think. the only reason people don't like it is because of the glasses, it gives them headaches, etc. that'll all be solved soon enough.

I just think about the parts in 300 and in Beowulf with the spearhead/arrowhead pointing right in your face. Imagine if it were a penis instead. Wow.

Personally, when a huge penis is being thrust in my face, my first thought isn't usually 'wow'. It's more like 'is it bigger than mine'.

No, that won't happen until they invent holodecks with virtual sex partners.

Yeah My friend and I were watching TV, and they did a long documentary type of thing about it. If you count those red/blue glasses as "3D" it's been around since the release of the whole red/blue glasses thing.

It was funny cause in the show, the old guy gave the young guy interviewing him one of the 3D porn books and was like, "There's even been 3D gay porn", and the young guy was all like, "These guy's are playing with eachother penises!", and the old guy calmly replies, "...yes, that happens sometimes".

Man I wish I could find a youtube version of that, it was funny.

oh, just images lol.

The documentary was about how the porn guy's use special cameras now to record it in 3D for DVDS or whatever. So there's been 3D porn on TV since 3D movies.

Not sure. If I had a monitor/tv capable of playing 3D movies/games I'd probably be a lot more motivated to find them.

it also really sucks if you already wear glasses. and it's not like they're one size fits all so they're not always comfortable too.
