3D is experienced differently by everyone.
Ive never had anything but love and joy for it. I watch every new movie in Imax3D.
I cant see how anyone says 3d is a gimmick, or that they dont think it adds much to a game/movie.
But I have a feeling that its because they are not seeing what Im seeing... and I think its because their eyes are closer or further apart. And since a film is locked in a set eye distance... the effects for them turn out to be either too shallow... or not effective at all. This leads to headaches and other problems.
I think such people would have to build a periscope like adjusting device to dial in the correct distances. Not even sure that will work properly. Their brains have grown up seeing things differently for all their lives.. so it may not be able to be de-programmed like that on the fly.
I say, that if Imax3d movies Rock for you, then 3d games and movies will rock too. They wont be as 3d on a smaller screen... but it will still look really cool.
I have the old sega master system 3d glasses. They have really bad flicker, but Ive enjoyed the 3d games with them immensely, for ages. Ive also seen the much older PC revisions of glasses that have came out... and the effect was good. Not Imax good, but good. Part of it is up to the game companies in how they program things. For example, most 3d will be Inside the screen. However, on the Sega... Missile Defense 3D, the missiles that get past you come out of the screen. Same for the Arcade game Continental Circus. Tires from your exploding car, and other cars wrecked pieces, fly out right at you. Its very awesome.
Id like to know if someone with the new nvidia setup can run mame's continental circus, and press f1 or f2 i think, to enable 3d mode... and see if its synced. I tried the sega glasses, leaving them in my sms while looking at mame on my pc monitor... and it was VERY awesome... however, it would get out of sync a lot, making a mess of things.
