do you even know how 3D without glasses is made and how hard is to do for multiple viewers at the same screen? 3DS is easy because there will be only one viewer at the same time and the screen manufacturer could look the 3D effect for a limited view distance and angle of the viewer is always in front of the screen (imagine the screen has a 180º view angle, in a handheld you are always in the 90º position, get it?)... in a living room that is not possible to do, TV would need a 3D camera (like kinect) to do, in real time, head tracking and adjust the screen setup for your point of view... if that ain't easy for one person... imagine for multiple viewers... PC gaming have only one viewer per screen and even nVidia didn't go that path and would be expecting to much and is a HUGE stretch for anyone to believe that glasses free would be the path for home 3D now...


I'm pretty sure this technology already exists, and is being shows at tradeshows as we speak. In 5 years, are you seriously telling me it won't find its way into a mainstream market? Are you willing to take the chance that I'm wrong, and spend 4000 dollars on a 3DTV with glasses today?

Introduced tech does not get mainstream that fast.

many will

how many tv channels are broadcasting 3d regularly right now or soon?  none.

many will

how many 3d games are out right now and will be out within the next 6 months?

But the push for it now it not wise. This is the issue many of us have. DVD worked because it was low key and upmarket until the price went down and the content went up. This is just pushing too much too fast.

The PS3 connection, and presenting it at E3. If the tech is too costly, that is not the time to show it, even if it is optional.

they are just presenting it as an option so you shouldn't care

 

they aren't making it compulsary

 

and the PS3 connection is only as one of the features they are advertising as PS3 can do it

 

showing it with PS3 and bringing it up prepares GAME developers for developing it for all games next generation and also improving it in gaming terms

A low key option would be reason not to care. With all the money and publicity they are making, it's not just something for the future. They are trying to push it right now.
