3D had a major problem that it never solved. I continually stated I’d be interested in 3D displays when they developed them using glasses-less technology. I avoid going to 3D films specifically to avoid wearing the glasses. But they never got that far. Beyond the gimmick of the 3DS screen, I’ve never seen glasses-less 3D. Let’s say you’re a couple and you have two pairs of glasses. What happens when you have friends over? Furthermore - the glasses were not interchangeable between brands of television sets, meaning it’s not like you could just bring a pair and expect them to work. A VR headset costs $300, and offers a truly unique experience that excites me as a developer and is very interesting as a user. A 3D TV cost more than a standard HDTV - and never really offered anything that made it worthwhile. IMHO it was DOA. The existence of VR cafes and interactive installations has already made VR a real ‘thing’. The inexpensive nature of the Oculus Quest is helping that a lot, too.
