3D is the future. Even if these first attempts aren't perfect, we will get there.

  So, why is it the future? Is it the future because it's a huge improvement over current technology, presenting compelling reasons to move over to it, or is it the future because everything thinks that it's the next big thing, to make people buy stuff again, and produce an ongoing revenue stream in the form of horribly expensive glasses needed for it to work?

    Because binocular vision represents one ofthe complete capacities for human sensation. It's about as big a jump as it was from mono to stereo in terms of fidelity. It's one step closer to total sensory immersion.

      But binocular vision is only one of the many ways that our brain uses to create the perception of depth... and not even the main one at that. We use the knowledge of what covers what, the size of objects/people, and the parallax effect. The first two can already be done with 2D and the latter cannot be done in 3D either (at least not with a lot of the cheap stuff out there). Which is why it doesn't seem that big of a deal when you look at something in 3D (though surely it helps a bit).

    It's the future because it presents a new and powerful way to view and potentially interact with content. I think these implementations requiring glasses to use are a poor representation of the potential of 3D display technology. The 3D DS, by contrast, is more in line with where I think things should/will go.
