3D technology was the biggest new trend of the 2010 CES event, and the creation of new glasses and digital 3D has certainly made the experience a more enjoyable one. Despite the advances, prominent eye experts has said that 3D tech may still lead to headaches for many users, and they should have their eyes checked first before investing in 3D HDTVs or other tech.

Because you represent the entire population? These people are probably in the minority but that doesn't mean it's a crock.

I have minor eye muscle problems, as well as horrendous depth perception but seeing Avatar did not give me a headache, fortunately. I did have to take off the glasses a few times to refocus my eyes, but I do that without them on on a regular basis so can't be sure it was the 3D.

That would explain why I've got problems watching a 3D movie....I've got depth perception issues.

Huge headache every time I've tried 3D VR simulators (the ones you mount on your head, etc). I do stay away from 3D video stuff because of this.

if that was a while a go then i'd give it another go as they don't flicker so much now.
I went an saw avatar at the cinema. I didin't get a headache but it took me about 30 minutes to get 'used' to wearing the glasses. I didn't' find them very comfortable, and i think that's where most people will be reluctant to invest in a 3d tv.
with a 3d tv with HD that i didn't have to wear glasses, and worked at normal lounge room angles... then i'd be tempted to replace my current tv..

Gives me a slight headache after a while and one eye usually hurts. Only really experienced real discomfort with avatar due to it being so long but I tended to forget about it during the good parts.
I still enjoy the 3D effect, it's something different and gives me a jolt when something appears right in your face.

haha, if you watched an imax in 3D then you saw a High definition (maybe not digital) 3D image since imax has greater resolution than 1080p.
Avatar and 3d movies give me a headache.

I actually usually get head aches from 3D stuff but avatar surprisingly didn't bother me.

we are going to be forced to upgrade to their "rob us blind by forcing upgrade" technology whether we like it or not.

3D TV: Why you'll (someday) own one whether you like it or not
2010 will be the first year that you can walk into Best Buy, put on some glasses, check out a few 3D TVs... and be underwhelmed by what you see. Eventually, though, you'll take the 3D plunge?we all will, because we won't have a choice.

"3D comes to your living room" was supposed to be one of the biggest stories at CES 2010, and indeed it was?the promotional push by Panasonic, LG, Samsung, Sony, and a few smaller panel makers was massive, with multimillion-dollar booth setups intended to awe conference-goers and start the technology off with a bang.
Unfortunately for the billions that have been pumped into R&D and manufacturing for 3D TVs, the normally hype-friendly press has been completely underwhelmed by what its sees after donning the ubiquitous shutter glasses here on the show floor. The collective response from the early adopter crowd at every booth has been, "Meh, I'm not going to buy one of these."
But because of the specific approach that the industry has settled on, consumers don't have to be bowled over for 3D TV to wind up in every living room. Here's a look at the current state of 3D TV, and at why it's coming to a screen near you whether you like it or not.

You truly are the harbinger of tech doom. Explain please. I scanned the article quickly looking for the reason why we will soon be forced to don 3D glasses. Maybe I missed something.

I think his point is the industry is heading to standardize 3D on anything they can.

So how is that bad? Nobody is going to be forced to buy a 3D television for day-to-day viewing. If anything, future TV's may be standardized as "3D capable." People who don't upgrade to a 3D capable TV will still be able to watch regular TV.

I was interested to hear on a radio discussion of trends in 3-D that 3-D TV is already in Europe. A caller had seen soccer in 3-D on TV in Europe and said it was not good on small screen in his opinion. Not sure what technology he was watching. Apparently 3-D TV technology is here already.
Anyone know how successful it is.
2-D on the samller flat panel TV is OK in my opinion without 3-D for sport.
3-D great on big screen theatre for Avatar and such movies which exxagerate the effects really well.

I believe they're going this route for piracy issues. I would think it would be pretty damned impossible to CAM pirate a 3D movie, and a 3D broadcast will be technically much more difficult to reproduce.
As for the question of will we be forced? I believe we will. When all content is 3D then you are forced to have 3D to view it.
I have no desire for 3D in my home. In a theater it can be cool, but I just really don't see the draw for 3D TV's...
Hey, I could be wrong... wouldn't be the first time

I don't agree. I can't see it as eventually being the only option to watch TV. How can the industry alienate a large potion of their customer base that cannot watch 3D due to physical limitations? It's just stupid from a business point of view. They can say that digital technology has solved many problems that older tech brought about, but there is no way to know. It wouldn't be acceptable to force someone in a wheelchair to use the stairs. It's just a fundamental concept. You will always have people who can't use it.

3D TV is also available as 2D tv...it is not too hard to integrate a new technology when it is backward compatable. I doubt a lot of people will buy new hardware (other than the glasses) just for 3D, at least untill you can do it without glasses...

That's what I think. I don't get where people are coming from saying that we will all be forced to watch 3D tv. We may be all buying TV's that have 3D capability, but I highly doubt that 2D will be non-existent any time in the near future.

there are several type of 3d glasses. But If you guys think avatar was great in 3d you reallyt havent seen good 3D movies. Cartoon movies are way better for 3D effects.
