So far he's right. It doesn't work now. It works better than the blue/red glasses, but that's not saying much. As for the "inability to solve this technological problem", that could be true. I don't think we can solve all technical problems. The opposite is saying we can solve all technical problems.

Yeah, given that this was written in January 2011, close to the peak of 3D hype, it seems spot on. 3D's best year was 2010, with 21% of US tickets sold. That's now down to 14% and dropping. I don't know anybody who insists on seeing films in 3D, but I have a number of friends who will flat-out refuse. And 3D TV is just dead. The best quote for me in this article comes at the end: "[...] if the film story has really gripped an audience they are "in" the picture in a kind of dreamlike 'spaceless' space. So a good story will give you more dimensionality than you can ever cope with." This seems exactly right to me. A captivating film already sucks you in. 3D just doesn't improve upon that for me.
