Tech ► 3D TVs and Movies are...

[Bukkake Sensei]

The fourth dimension is time.

No it isn't.

 

[State]

...um, what?

supposedly, pirates don't have the technology to pirate 3d games, so, this is their "counter-attack" towards their pirating. keyword here being "supposedly" and keysentence being "don't have the technology to pirate".

 

[MomentoMori]

3D is overrated.

It was cool the first couple movies, but now it's like everyone and their brother's doing movies, TV shows, etc. in 3D. Now it's just lame.

Avatar is already 4D. The fourth dimension is time.

4D = watching a movie, see an explosion, feel your chair shake. Adding 3D, and physical activity that synchronizes with the movie.

4D = watching a movie, see an explosion, feel your chair shake.

And also, see a sneeze, be sprayed in the face with water; see an assortment of dessert pastries, be gassed with some sweet fragrance. Disneyland Japan. Good times...

I don't want every friggin' thing in 3-D. First my eyes are already . . . crap, and I don't exactly want to take a chance with damaging them further. .__.

I feel on the media side of things -- video game designers, movie directors, etc. -- they should focus their efforts in improving the storyline, the cinematography, and the level of audience immersion in the medium, instead of trying to make a '3D' product.

THIS. THIS. THIS. THIS.

I don't give a fuck if it's 3-D, if the characters are sues, and the storyline was crappily put together. (hell I don't gaf anyways) Asides, if EVERYTHING went 3-D, what the hell would you do with the . . . normal slow movies, (take, erm, Pride and Prejuice, or that Perusian one. Yea.) what would you even DO in 3-d with them?

3-D is useless, imho. >_>

I want 3D porn. Kind of like those images you have to jack off to cross-eyed, but not so much hard work.

What surprises me is that despite the lackadaisical response to it, the industry remains determined to implement 3D into virtually all tech products. 95% either hate it or are apathetic towards it, and only 5% actually like it.

Surely the views of KHI members cannot differ that much from other consumers, and technology companies who have carried out market research would have gotten similar results.

What, then, was the motivation for going down the 3D road?

 

[Dogenzaka]

What many people don't seem to understand is that whether you like it or not, it's the future, and at some point in the future there's going to be a glasses-less 3D that's not going to interfere with color saturation or brightness levels, and it's going to be more immersive than anything you've done before, and you're probably going to like it. So shaming the technology when it's at its infancy in home entertainment use is absolutely retarded. It's going to get better.

There are quite a few pieces of media that "sell" the idea of 3D to people, such as Motorstorm in 3D. It's no doubt that it makes the game better, because the immersion of having the 3D environment zoom past you as you drive is just indescribable.

Personally, I like 3D, but I can't enjoy it too much due to eye problems that make my eyes get very tired of 3D glasses after a while...so I often have to take breaks in 3D movies. While I watch it, though, I certainly like the effect. There are some issues like a decreased brightness and contrast level, flickering from the alternating frames of images, etc., but it's a great technology that will certainly improve to a point where anyone can use it in 10 years, I'm sure.

Like, what the fcuk is the problem? 3D is optional. You don't have to see something in 3D. It's a GOOD thing that movies and games are moving towards 3D standards, because then in 10 years when 3D technology is everything we could hope it to be, all our old shit will WORK WITH IT.

Why do some people think 3D technology moving the industry forward is like their children getting taken away from them or something? The entertainment industry always needs something to push it forward, whether it be HD or widescreen or color, now it's implementing 3D.

Am I the only one that heard, and still hears, people bitching about how we don't need Blu-Ray?

I want 3D porn

More than anything, this is a huge, untapped economic reservoir, and like many technological advancements in media, porn will probably have a huge part to play in pushing 3D technology forward.

I never said there was a problem. What I said was that there was a lukewarm response from consumers, which should have dissuaded companies from further continuing down the line of development. If the majority of people don't want a feature, developing it would only incur losses to the company.

It is great that they still are developing it, because, like you said, in the future, 3D technology may improve. I just don't see the motivation for them to continue development now, when they currently stand to gain little profit from it.

 

[Weeaboo]

I don't like 3D TV's because you have to pay $100 per pair of glasses. Where as you can bring the same 3D glasses to every movie theater for every movie they are releasing and not worry about it.

 

[AxelYoYo]

I like to watch 3d every once in a while, but I can't most of the time because it makes my head spin. More 3D crap is stupid.

 

[blinkboy211]

I look at it like this, 3D was very popular in the 50s and 60s. This is now 2010 so why are we trying to beat a dead horse and bringing back a technology that seems somewhat regressive. Hell next thing we know cell phones are going to be in bricks cause that is the "new" cool fad.

It wasn't really directed to you, your quote just stimulated that response from me to general people with a massive stick in their ass against 3D xD

when they currently stand to gain little profit from it.

um what
3D movies are profitable.

This is almost the stupidest thing I've ever read.
