minus-squarerafoix@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up8·3 hours agoYes, you needed a 3D disk player, 3D TV, 3D version of whatever you want to watch. That’s a lot of upfront costs. Very few movies are filmed in 3D. Avatar did it right but almost nothing else did and it shows. Video games should be doing it right now on PC but most folks would rather use all the extra horsepower to run their games at 200fps.

minus-squarerafoix@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 hours agoVR seems a lot more isolating than 3D glasses in front of a TV. Even the powered active 3D glasses are a lot less cumbersome than any VR headset. I absolutely wish that someone made a 3D TV with the New 3DS technology in 4K. Have the 3D effect turn off when more than one person is watching TV.
