I very much see the point. I had an experience many many years ago at 6
Flags over Texas at a theater called "The Chevy Theater". Don't know to
this day if it was affiliated with Chevrolet or not. Like I said I was
very young and my senses were very alive. Anyway, it showed a film shot
in 70mm running at 60 frames per second (no glasses mind you) that
started out in a small air plane flying low over the desert which then
hit the rim of the Grand Canyon. It was so realistic that my stomach
felt like it dropped out of my body and every time the plane banked my
body felt like it was leaning. I can't convey how incredibly realistic
it was but I was into it big time. Another thing was that the screen was
much wider than normal and concave shaped to fill your field of view
almost completely. It was housed in an out door tent and we sat on
backless benches that were placed very close. Primitive accommodations
but the tech was awesome. Never seen anything like it since but that's
the future of TV IMHO.

Still, I just don't see the point in 3D TV....who wants to wear
stoopid classes all the time....and I don't see it for sports
either...perhaps gamers though...they are a different bred...

what're
your thoughts/experiences with 3D TV and/or gaming? The gaming has
been
around longer, b/c I assume it was easier to get computer games to do
3d;
see this thread (someone references playing the FIRST Descent in 3D;
something I think I remember hearing about) :

Turns out that Samsung DLP I got last year supports 3D (and DLPs are
one of
the few tvs out there that will, having a true 120Hz refresh rate)
with the
addition of an extra kit for $150 ($200 for 2 glasses from DDD aka
TriDef at
http://www.ddd.com/cart/product.php?productid=2

&cat=1&page=1
). Considering it since the tech isn't going to settle for a while, and
having it now would be cool (people have been doing it for the last
couple
years apparently with earlier Samsung/Mitsu DLPs).
And it doesn't sound like getting a gaming rig setup with 3D is that
hard; I
played Left4Dead in 3D at a tech event last year with the glasses and
headphone/mic and it was pretty cool; forgot about it until the whole
Avatar/3D thing at CES this year and now I'm looking into getting it.
Anyway, thoughts?
