3D TV hasn't caught on because it's an expensive gimmick that people don't generally want to pay for. Many sets also compromised on ordinary 2D quality to get 3D working, a particularly poor bargain. I've been to 3D films with family/friends/dates and there's nothing antisocial about wearing polarized glasses. But for the most part it wasn't a real improvement on just watching a movie. Sometimes the gimmick worked better than others, but always a gimmick. I wouldn't pay for it at home, but the glasses involved have nothing to do with why.
