Comment on By technical standards were 3D TVs impressive, Why didn't they catch on back then?

  I had a TV that was 3D capable along with a PS3. I think I played 30 minutes of 3D games on that TV before I got a headache from the flickering shutter glasses and then they staid in the drawer below them tv for a year ar or two. Next time I wanted to try the batteries were empty.

  I also saw a number of 3D movies in the cinema but it’s more for block busters and after a while it just is “meh”.

  It’s a wow effect in the beginning, but in the end it’s just a gimmick.

    Also you go to watch a movie on a giant screen and walk you can see are the frames of the 3d glasses.

      I don’t have a lot of VR experience, but for me being “in” a scene does it for VR, while 3D Glasses are still meh.

      Try non-stereoscooic VR by just closing one eye while using your headset - it’s still great. The difference is the one between stereoscopic tvs and normal ones.
