3D or not 3D – that is the question!

Let me start out this article with full disclosure – I had an eye injury that has affected my stereoptic vision, which means that I don’t see 3D correctly.  In fact, it just gives me a headache and makes me feel ill.

So, setting my personal bias aside, I still don’t like 3D.  There, I said it.

I don’t find (eye problem aside) 3D to be an immersive experience, but I honestly can’t say if it’s because of the glasses or not.  I have seen prototypes of 3D screens that don’t require the glasses, but the strict requirements (standing in one spot – narrow viewing angle) make it as annoying as wearing glasses.  3D that doesn’t require glasses is making rapid advancements, so the day may come when it’s really good (for the 90% that can see it), but IMHO, it’s not working.
