Hey, I like my 3D TV. Every once in a while I manage to find a pirated video that’s in 3D and it’s pretty neat. And unlike the current avalanche of generative/LLM bullshit, I can turn the 3D off, and when I do it works just fine as a perfectly ordinary TV, and in no way does it nag me incessantly to turn it back on.

Hey, don’t be mean to 3DTV. At least there’s an actual use case for it. Watching 3D TV or movies, which aren’t actually that popular… Hmmm, I see your point but also counter with the 3D TVs are at least also regular TVs

It’s way worse that 3Dtv.

Yes, 3d tv was pushed too soon. If they waited for the glassless technology (like the 3ds screen for example) I think we would have 3d screen everywhere. Now the tech is dead because people had a really bad perception of 3d tv.

The 3DS screen kinda sucked though. It only worked well when your eyes were inside a very tight cone straight in front of the screen. Move your head just a little bit and the image went to shit. And even when it did work, it looked more cool than good, if that makes sense. That narrow fov thing is an inherent limitation of the technology that can hardly be worked around, and it makes it practically useless for TVs. Multiple people can’t view that screen because you can’t expect everyone to be in the vision cone at once. You can’t even properly view it alone because you won’t be staying inside that narrow vision cone the whole time you’ll be sitting on your couch watching Avatar.
I never saw mine as anything more than a cool gimmick, and kept its 3D-ness turned off 95% of the time. There’s a reason Nintendo didn’t pursue it further.

The technology didn’t stop with the 3ds screen though, Samsung has the Odyssey 3d line which is starting to get nice but has still a lot of shortcomings because you can count on one hand the games that are really well optimized with it. But yeah, it’s kind of a gimmick in a lot of case in gaming but for tv and movies I still think the technology has potential once we get brighter screens (as glassless 3d eat a lot of it)
