Sony: Nintendo Shouldn't Bash 3D Glasses

3D glasses won't move beyond the enthusiast set. At least Nintendo has the opportunity to push 3D into the mainstream which is the important point. People don't like wearing glasses, and they don't understand them. I remember seeing a Panasonic 3D demonstration in a mall a week ago and people were walking away and complaining because the glasses had been turned off. Noone understood that they needed to press the button on the left underside of the glasses.

Yep, I agree with that. Nintendo are the ones to push new technology into the mainstream, Sony is simply not able to do that right now.

Anyway, it will be nice to see what the people will think when there are the first 3D TVs which don't require glasses.

It is very obvious you two, and everyone else it seems, have no idea wtf your talking about and Sony is actually completely right in this situation. Basically because you do not have any idea on the technology at hand here and probably shouldnt be opening your mouths unless you do. BUT since you did, let me educate you some on this very problem.

The technology needed for TVs are anything that has screens larger then the 3DS's to present picture in 3D without glasses is very immature. Sony has two sets that DO NOT require glasses. There are two issues with it. One, the technology is VERY VERY expensive; two, 3D without glasses has a extremely limited viewing angle. The reason the 3DS doesnt need glasses is because the screens are small and the users will be staring pretty much straight at the screen at any given point. If for some reason a gamer tries to play the 3DS when the system is set down and at any angle be prepared to see a giant blur at best.

Both Sony and Panasonic have TVs without 3D glasses. They are expensive and impracticle in every aspect due to limitations in technology.  If Nintendo is going to release a full 3D console, they will have to require glasses or home-owners to have $20,000 TVs. Which sounds better?

Nintendo isnt even pushing technology with the 3DS. They are taking technology that exists and shrinking it down to the only point that it will work till the tech matures. What Sony is saying is that Nintendo is cheering on technology that has been in use for over a year now, that is currently extremely limited, and making fun of the only way current 3D tech can work effectively. They are asking to work together so that maybe Sony and Nintendo can push "glassesless" 3DTVs into mainstream affordable levels by developing upon existing tech.

Wow. What?

You just said exactly the same thing as the the people you're "disagreeing" with. They said Nintendo can push glasses-less 3D into the mainstream. You just gave a bunch of reasons why Sony and Panasonic can't.

And no, Sony's not trying to promote glasses-less 3D. The article clearly states that they (or at least the person interviewed) believes glasses are necessary for a good 3D experience.
