Eh, VB didn't use proper 3D. It used a concept much more akin to the pseudo-3D that movie theatres offer with the glasses.

However, yes, it DID offer a "3D-like experience" out of the box.

What do you mean by pseudo-3D in movie theatres? The 3D in theatres is basically as good as the one you get with a 3D TV at home, but instead of shutter glasses a light polarizer is used to direct the frames to each eye (which is cheaper in terms of the glasses, more expensive for the projection part).

All you need for 3D is the ability to send a specific image to each eye separately. There are different ways to accomplish that, but the end result should be the same in terms of depth perception.

 

I mean that it's theorized that this will ACTUALLY use multiple screens, which will actually be a TRUE 3D - the images will ACTUALLY be different distances from the eye. Using a light polarizer to direct different frames to each eye is effectively pseudo-3D. The eye sees it like real 3D, but it's an illusion.
