How many people like watching 3D movies at home or at a movie theater? Sometimes old fashioned 2D images are just fine. The content, story and artistic aspects of the image is what matters, not some cool half-baked 3d trick that is... frankly a distraction.
I don't mean to criticize the research and engineering that went into doing something like this - it truly remarkable. I refer to the application possibilities that we might see in the future - imagine the web full of these 3d images, I think that would be a pretty noisy and distracting place.

- netsharc 7y agoIf you extrapolate where social media apps are taking us, first it was to "keep in touch" (however superficial) with people, even when it's a tweet that "they're pooping" or an IG of what they're having for lunch. And then came Periscope livestreams and Snapchat stories (stolen by Instagram and Facebook), so you can see a live video of what your friends are doing. FB bought Oculus, I wonder if their fantasy of the future is for realtime immersive sharing of experiences, your friend is on top of the Eiffel tower, you put on your goggles, and boom, you're there with them with a 360 degree video. At least that's the technological side, personally I think this simulacra of friendship/socializing is terrible.
