to ross stokel—what happened to your 3-D televison from 1990, i have the programme ‘beyond 2000′ on video, and often show your system to friends, and wonder why it has not yet been perfected and in use? it certainly worked for me–on that programme–and the only poblem i can see is the peripheral one—the two screens that you don’t watch, on either side…..the programme ‘can we help’ on ABC_TV has had a segment on a new type of 3-D , but i don’t think they demonstrated it……garry–brisbane

Having dedicated the last twenty five years to stereoscopic imaging research and describing/publishing the unequivocal standard for stereoscopic capture, process and display several times during this period, why are so many groups attempting to “set” new standards. There is only one. It is the one that complements, corresponds and is in concert with the human physiology. If “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” is an example of the current state-of-the-art commercial (3D) technology, this proves that producers do not understand the fundamental science relating to visualisation/sight.

Miss Higginbotham, Paul is right. The 3D TV sets work today, if one knows how to view or generate 3D imagery on a computer (and you can take stereo pictures with your off-the-shelf digital camera). I have such a set at home and use it every day. There just isn't any stereoscopic Hollywood movie content available for them at this point, but neither Samsung nor Mitsubishi claim that. The required active shutter glasses can be bought for about $100. Furthermore, your explanation about how autostereoscopic displays work is purest BS and shows that you have zero understanding of that technology. So now, how much of the rest of your article shall we believe? At least there was a cute word play at the end.

Consumer level 3D is starting to get cheaper. I’ve seen footage from professionals on a Zalman 22″ LCD and I’m thoroughly impressed. Next, year, more and more TVs and monitors will be 3D ready. Now to simply define what that means :)

Stacey, you can easily buy the software and glasses that work perfectly with the Samsung 3D capable TV’s from DDD if Best Buy is out of stock. http://www.DDD.com No hype, it works here and now.

From next year, the 3D TV’s will have the 3D chips built in.

3D is coming for theaters and home use. We’re just at the start of the curve, but a convergence of technology, content, and standards will make it possible. My response was too long to include here, so see it on my blog: http://blog.daryll.net/archives/24

If these movies that are shot in 3D become popular, consumers’ imaginations are going to start getting fired up about the possibility of 3D for the home theatre and PC. This could bring 3D into the home faster than you might think. After trying a bunch of the different 3D displays at SIGGRAPH last week, I definitely saw some that were quite impressive (and didn’t give me a headache).

However, if this batch of 3D movies doesn’t go over well, all this buzz might be for naught, or at least it may lengthen the adoption cycle. These next 12 months should be interesting for all the industries related to 3D.
