Why 3D wont last...

I dont know how many of you have bought into this fad, but you might want to rethink spending more money on it. I know somebody who bought 3 new 3D LED TVs and BluRay's to go with them just before Christmas. He dropped over $6k on them. It is an unproven technology and there are more than a couple of conversations about it not going anywhere. Somebody got this to work halfway decent, and now its just another way for them to pull a few more dollars out of your pocket. They give us something "cool" and expect us to pay to support a technology we didnt want in the first place...

Decent read, its a letter for Walter Murch to Roger Ebert...

The biggest problem with 3D, though, is the "convergence/focus" issue. A couple of the other issues -- darkness and "smallness" -- are at least theoretically solvable. But the deeper problem is that the audience must focus their eyes at the plane of the screen -- say it is 80 feet away. This is constant no matter what.

But their eyes must converge at perhaps 10 feet away, then 60 feet, then 120 feet, and so on, depending on what the illusion is. So 3D films require us to focus at one distance and converge at another. And 600 million years of evolution has never presented this problem before. All living things with eyes have always focused and converged at the same point.

I was hoping it would be compatible with my betamax player.

Damn Best Buy sales people are the devil.

I wouldn't buy that crap either. Not only will the technology most likely fade, but who wants to buy 15 pairs of glasses for when you have friends over?

I've kinda thought all along that it was more of a fad. I use 3D at work for mapping, have for years, but that doesn't involve a lot of motion so it's not hard on the eyes.

There's just not much reason for it IMO... I'm not spending the money on one... I'm with Salty, the new LED's are the bomb, that's what I would get if I needed a new TV.

3D will stick around....but not what you are seeing now with the glasses.

A couple of friends in the technology industry said that there is technology out thre that is much better and that does not require glasses. They said to expect to see it within 12-18 months on the retail market.

    • Yeah don't get me started on that. He ran cam into the ground
    • I once again wake up eat my breakfast and then read bs…man your logic only works in your head I can give you multiple examples but I’ll start with one easy clear example of it matters who you’re getting and what you’re planning on doing. Jadevon C and Khalil Mack were drafted before Aaron Donald 2014 biggest mistake of the draft as we look back and redraft or whatever. It doesn’t make sense to take a DE over a DT thats a stud game changing elite defensive player. You can’t draft of generalization typically you want a DE first but nowadays DT are just as impactful so you better choose right LA got a chip bc of Donald meanwhile K Mack is on his second team and J Clowney on his third  team. We don’t draft positions we draft elite prospects Graham seems to be a more productive disruptive player than either DE we may get. A Carter who I want is a Micah P clone they say I can see him impacting the pass game but the run game might leave him as a non factor. And right now our main focal point on defense this offseason will be stopping the run. We’ll be able to create pressure with A Barno back Wonnum healthy and a mix of blitzing which has helped us generate pass rush lately.  Graham if he allows us to stop the run and he generates a pass rush himself which at Michigan he’s know to do both consistently helps our defense then start controlling games would be a better pick then Carter for us moving forward so let’s dive deeper then just pick a DE over a DT because there’s so many factors to weigh out with these top ten picks in the nfl draft.
