I also have SKY+HD so I get 3D tv content on demand and I have a PS3 and a blu-ray player in the other room that is also 3D capable. How much 3D content do I watch? next to none. Its essentially a gimmick that fades after time... I watch the odd football match in 3D for curiosity purposes but I don't find that 3D adds anything to normal TV viewing really. The BBC are broadcasting the Olympics in 3D so that might be interesting... but again only for novelty value. |
Your posts tend to make a lot of sense to me these days... there are 2 3d tvs in my house that have shown zero 3d content in the last 3 months. Last thing i played in 3D was sonic generations.
3d few years ago was exciting because it was experimental. There were no standards and no templates for success that were followed. Back then Everyone was just doing their own thing and results were interesting.
Todays state of 3d is what happens when something niche is commercially exploited.
Once content providers and tv manufacturers give up on milking everyone for tacked on 3d we should see some cool things again. I expect 3d augmented reality to be pretty hot stuff in the next 5 years...
