3D Taking Over?

probably ya... since probably sometime in the future, we are gonna have 3D tv that doesnt require any spec( saw it once at a tech convention a few months back)

and then, there's those 3D television...

and then dont forget those 3D laptops... ya... i guess it's gonna take over but look on the bright side, no huge overlord turning us into slaves

It is going to get to a hologramic form in the future. Betcha 20 bucks, 50 cent.

I think it would last a long time, unlike those silly red and blue glasses
It will become natural soon, like touch screens, they are still loved but don't seem way too flashy.

3D is just a gimmick and it can be tacky ... and next step is 4D ?

4D Already exists, in special cinemas.
3D and Motion, you also get sprayed a lil.

I wonder if people said the same thing about stereo?

"Dis stireo iz stoopid fad! Giv mi mono aniday! lol omg nub rofl!!!!1!1"

3D was always going to be the way forward in visual displays because 3D is the natural way of viewing things. As technologies improve it won't be such a gimmick. It will seem as normal as an audio device supporting stereo.

Fancy gimmicks that will never catch on:
3D.
Surround sound.
Color.
Sound.
Moving pictures.

The current attempts at 3D are clumsy and leave a lot to be desired, but technology is moving towards reproducing images in full 3D, and it will become the standard one day. It will just take a while.

Yes this same thing probs happened with Stereo, LCD, HD, Touch Screen, Coloured TV and Blah blah blah...

I believe that holographic technology will be the next big thing. They ultimately want to get away from illusory 3D and create true three-dimensional objects that you can interact with.....sorta like Star Trek TNG's holodecks on a lesser scale. They're getting there, but for now, we have stuff like the 3DS to keep us entertained.

It seems like people are either obsessing over 3D (With the 3DS coming out, that's all people are talking about) or they think it's a gimmick.

[quote name='ShadowSoldier' post='3410832' date='Jan 22 2011, 11:03 PM']It can never take over, because there's one flaw with the whole thing:

some people's eyes, can't handle 3D. By that I mean they could be partially blind, blind in one eye, or have some other disorder. It'll never be able to take over like the DVD took over the home movie scene.

As for my opinion on 3D. I hate it. I wear glasses, just to sharpen my vision. I don't HAVE to have them on, but for driving or if I'm watching TV, I prefer to have them on so everything is clear. I went to the movies and I seen Avatar, Saw 3D... and some other movie I forget, and I also seen Toy Story 3. I've tried, during different times in each movie, 3D glasses with my glasses on and off. My glasses off, it didn't even look like anything was popping out. My glasses on, same thing, didn't look like anything.

I find it to be an expensive, over hyped gimmick that people will eventually say "wow, 3D sucks." Because just like gaming on an iPhone with the touch screen, no matter how much it's worked on, it'll never be 100% perfect where everybody can watch it.

3D = Waste of time and money.[/quote]
Yeah, I know it doesn't work for everyone but there's always the option to turn it off (if it's a handheld). Let's say Apple was making a new iPhone/iPod with 3D. The few people that wouldn't be able to use it isn't going to change Apple's mind on whether to release the product or not.

If and when the 3D tech becomes cheaper and isn't likely to cause damage, I hope it will grow, but remain optional.

I don't like it when cinemas and other places use the term 4D for attractions/movies like that.
To me, 4D should always refer to the fourth dimension.

"3D and Motion, you also get sprayed a lil." isn't the fourth dimension?

The fourth dimension is time. Learn some physics, people.

I like Kinnect because the worst I ever get from playing Kinnect are sore joints, weight loss, and loss of breath.

AT LEAST I DON'T GET FRIGGEN HEADACHES AND EYELOSS!

When I finished watching a 3D movie, I had a killer headache!
3D Movies SUCK BALLS!
3D Games are ****!

3D is NOT THE ****, 3D is BULL ****!

Does anybody remember the VIRTUAL BOY!?

"Not only was this system a commercial failure, but there have also been reports of seizures and the possibility of going blind!" -AVGN (Loosely Quoted)

Handhelds should be abolished and replaced with layered eye glasses that overlay the video game on the lenses with an opacity option to set the opacity of the game from %50 opacity to %100 opacity. You would control character movements with your mind. IT'S 2011! Anything is possible! If Russia started working on mind tampering devices disguised as cell phones (They did? Yeah I'm bull ******* ya.) then brain-wave scanning technology should be the next thing.

3D is a fad from the early 90's that should have been burred and NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EVER, dug back up.

Let's think about this for a minute, we are creating a game system that should be played for no longer than 30 minute sessions for people aged TEEN and Beyond.

Now let's look at some of the games being released for the system;

Zelda OOT
Kingdom Hearts 3(D)
Street Fighter IV 3D (****** ENOUGH RE-HASHES!)

Aside from Street Fighter IV 3D, all of the other games that I have listed take WEEKS to complete. (Especially Kingdom Hearts 3[D]!)

That's like giving a mouse cheese and telling it to only eat a bit each day! You known damn well that mouse will eat the whole ******* thing in a heartbeat!

Now I hope you all understand my thoughts on 3D and why its ******* sucks monkey **** though a straw!

P.S. RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE!!!

Obviously, but turning it off, that doesn't mean it's taking over now does it? The thread is asking "Will 3D take over"? And no it won't because there are too many things from stopping it from becoming the new standard for everybody.


edit: @raging pussy above: OoT from what I've heard only has 3D in the mini map, as in it pops out. But that's only from the beginning of the game, who knows what other 3D it will have.

To be honest, I hope it's 4 years from now.

Then Back to the Future II won't be 100% wrong.
