"I think you're exactly right. Look at 3d television: they aren't selling. People don't want to wear glasses just to watch a movie."
For me, 3D does nothing to get more immersed into the story. Frankly most of the 3D movies suck. Weak plots sprinkled with in your face 3D effects. Booooring.
It is about the plot and the acting. The content, not the form. Look at Hitchcocks movies. Would adding 3D do anything for them? Look at Jim Jarmushs movies or at "Lost in translation", would adding 3D do anything for those? Would adding VR do anything for those? I don't think so.
In the end it is about content. Second life and "there" was all the hype around 2005 but the hype wore off. Maybe it is time for 3rd life with the OR and the myo armband now. I think it depends on whether there is something in there that makes it worth while to come back after the initial "whoa this is awesome, wow" effect wears off.
For my own part, I'd love to see a VR based construction application like Sketchup where you are IN the model and build something with gestures. I'm pretty sure that would fly with the maker possy.
- justincormack 13y agoNot sure how many people even saw Dial M for Murder in 3D as 3D was pretty much over by when it was released. People don't remember the first VR boom either.
- bglazer 13y agoSomewhat tangential, but you should watch Coraline. I thought it was a nice example of 3d done right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coraline_%28film%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coraline_%28film%29
