Yes, 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.

    I mean we have VR, make the case for 3D while VR is a thing

    VR 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.

    I think you might be one of the few guys, that prefer 3D over VR

    Weirder things have happened.

    3D TVs were pushed by movie studios trying to sell 3D Blu-rays at a time when streaming was killing the idea of physical media.

    Video games didn’t go all-in. Which made it even more niche.

    VR is having a lot of growing pains.
