How can people be indifferent to stereoscopic 3D?

it costs more - for now, it won't forever

many people can't perceive it - ?? the ones that have normal vision should with a good enough technology (not that crappy 2 colored cheap small glasses thing at the movies)

lowers game performance as it requires frames to be drawn twice - won't go into it, but not an issue (see Wii), also matter of evolution (Crytech pretends that creating stereoscopic 3d for Crysys2 adds 1.2% overhead or something, not that much and it's still early)

it gives many people headaches,nausea, eye strain - fixable by personalized glasses, or a number of technical solutions etc

and it doesn't actually add a whole lot to the experience - really? Now this is what I don't get? You do not feel the HUGE difference between the weak illusion of 3D on a normal screen and the "could be perfect" illusion of 3D in stereoscopy? Please explain.

 

so people should be hyped about 3D now because it will be cheaper in the future? odd reasoning

so you think the ~12% of people should be hyped for tech that they can't use?

yes but that is more expensive which is a major issue, additionally the glasses are an issue I forgot none wants to ware dorky/expensive (if you go designer) glasses while sitting on the couch especially with a bunch of mates/ the girl friend and all the people do need the glasses or it looks blurred, plus the glasses darken the image.

yes there is a difference but it's not really that huge (yes I have seen avatar in 3D and I can see stereo 3D) it adds an extra layer of depth but if it's done right and not just for a gimmick you stop noticing it, unless the movie/game is so boring that you are focusing on how prominent the 3D effect is. Maybe in the future there will be content that is heaps better in 3D than 2D but so far I haven't seen it and I am not investing $1000s on something that may happen. That said I am going to be getting a 3DS and will probably use the 3D, unless it hurts my eyes after extended periods like avatar did then I will turn it off.
