3-d tv.

[the watcher]

Turn on your new 3D DLP HDTV, slide on your active 3D glasses, and watch the images jump off the high definition screen and into your home theater. The extreme speed of the DLP chip, combined with 3D technology, makes it all possible. 3D TV sets poised for distribution next spring.

This is going to add a whole new dimension to watching porn.

 

[Iceshadow]

You mean the third dimension?

Sony just unveiled a 3D TV and ESPN made an official announcement about creating a 3D channel. A few other networks look like they will be doing the same.

The first game of the World Cup will be the first thing broadcast in 3-D if memory serves.

I'm confused.

Do I need to wear the glasses?

What's up this whole new popularity with 3-D? It's been around since the '70s....

1. Filming everything digitally makes it way cheaper and easier.

2. You don't need to wear the cyan/magenta glasses anymore so you don't lose anything in the colour scheme.

I'm confused.

Do I need to wear the glasses?

Yes but like PM said it's not the old red/blue glasses. They are colorless and the colors on the screen are true.

Yes but it's only more recently that they've been able to make it more realistic in regards to color.

It's still not perfect but it's a lot closer than it used to be.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

Oh, so those new ones like in the theaters.

I think 3-D only works properly when it involves objects flying out 'at you' (birds, or shrapnel from an explosion, etc). Everything else just seems forced and unnecessary and will seem even more so on TV. Watching a movie in 3-D doesn't make it feel like I'm "in" the movie, it just feels like I'm watching a pop-up book in video form. No matter how much the concept advances, I really don't think it can be impressive on the 2-dimensional rectangle that is a screen.

I say put all the money into Holodecks.

Well....making 3-D movies is actually more expensive. Avatar cost like 300 million to make.

That was more them inventing brand new technology just to film the cgi. 3-D does not in anyway add that much to the cost.
