3D versions of rock concerts will rock.


3D concerts are for pussies. It defeats the whole point of being at a concert. That's why only crappy disney "musicians" do them (JB and HM/MC)

Also, will someone explain the difference between this "new" 3D and the 3D in Avatar that I just saw last week? I know the difference between the Red-and-blue ones and the "digital 3D" with the tinted sunglasses (like Avatar). What is the difference?

Im not sure if you still waiting for an answer but here it is: the 3D you watch in cinema is called polarised 3D. You have 2 lenses that are polarise to leave only certain light particle pass through. Each lens will let only pass the light segment that go with their polarisation. Its a very cheap method of displaying 3D but the problems is that it lowers the overall quality of the screen by reducing contrast and sharpness.

Now the other method is called shutter glass (its not a new method tho), you have 2 LCD panels, one in front of each eye. The panels will then close in succession to the other fast enough that you cant see them flickering. Its more expensive but produce a real high def image, it does not affect the quality in anyway.

Sony was suppose to use polarise glasses at first (CE08), but they wasnt satisfied with the quality and moved to LCD shutter glasses. Its harder to work on this because you need a constant framerate of 120 hz, if not it will be possible to notice the flickering of your LCD panel and this induce headache. If you have any other question feel free to ask, I already had 3D at home 10 years ago.
