I somewhat miss the novelty of the 3d camera+screen on my old HTC android phone. It's a fun nice-to-have but there wasn't enough media that worked with it except what you recorded, which also wasn't the best thing to watch in 3D :)
- rtkwe 5y agoThat's always an issue with new media tech. The same chicken and egg thing existed when 720 and later 1080+ TVs were released, there was practically nothing to watch on them at first. I think 3D has more issues to deal with than 3D but if there's TVs out there in large numbers the media will probably follow.
- toast0 5y agoI'm 98% sure they stopped making 3d tvs, so you can't find a 2019-2021 3d tv; although I think some current model projectors might be capable. I don't think there were enough sales to encourage enough media production to encourage sustainable sales to encourage continued display manufacturing. I'm biased because I wear glasses and wearing two sets of glasses is a negative experience anyway. The many different incompatible glasses made it unlikely to find prescription lenses with the right filters to make it possible to wear a single pair to see the screen and get stereo vision, so I was always going to hate it.
- rtkwe 5y agoYeah 3D is a bit different than the strict resolution increase because it isn't just an upgrade to the cameras it changes how things are filmed and framed (look at every 3d movie it always has the obvious "ooooh it's coming out of the screen" shot you can pick out even in 2D).
- soco 5y agoThere was enough 3D content (aka movies) for me to watch in weekends. No need for the news to be in 3D. And I was using the polarized glasses which were pretty fine for a relaxing (and low expectations) evening.
