3D Viewing Restrictions Still Keeping 3D TVs From The Mainstream

Loneliness is something which the true cinephile has long since accepted. Those who suffer from Cinephilia have learned to deal with the crippling loneliness through years of solo trips to arts cinemas. Even in the home, a student of cinema makes compromises to have a bit of company. Your latest Cannes winner better not have subtitles or (heaven forbid) the misfortune to be a documentary. A lot of grief is to be had by being obsessive about any medium, though Film nerds are actually relatively socially acceptable. Still, you'd still hit them in the ribs if they put on a pair of Oakley sunglasses.

But don't you worry! 3D Home Cinema is here, and we're all going to become very lonely indeed. If you love cinema, it seems you fall into one of two sets on the issue of 3D. If you're mopping up spilt Chinese tea from your mac keyboard, you're the type who hates all this swishy 'objects at the screen' nonsense. Those who love cinema as more of a default method of entertainment absolutely adore its pointless dimensionality. You can guess which of these groups enjoys more human company for yourself. Fortunately, it's probably the former group that actually has the financial apathy to buy an essentially broken, top tier solution that can only be viewed by the goateed minority. You don't even need to head straight for the designer glasses to spend a fortune on a single pair. Kitting out an entire family or room of friends isn't a financial reality, especially when you consider the initial investment in a 3D capable TV.

But, but, Glasses Free 3D!. Attendees at CES stood one at a time on a half-meter wide zone where the effect aligned well enough to be seen. If more than one person were to view, they'd probably need to be conjoined. It's certain that the doctor never ordered these rubbish 3D Prescription sunglasses, but we won't see this for a while. However, Nintendo's 3DS shows us what it's worth doing with the technology right now. The 3DS is a small scale and affordable device that doesn't exceed the usage limits of the technology. It's the proof of concept of a wave of 3D technology to come.
