This past Saturday my wife and I stopped by the Samsung showroom at the Time Warner Center in Manhattan. They were featuring a number of 3-D TVs and we were able, after donning the appropriate glasses, to see what their images really looked like.
I was frankly surprised by how good it was. This technology is worthy of respect.
For downtown theaters it is one more technological improvement that makes home movie viewing their most serious competitor.
That said, it also should be noted that using the glasses is a pain in the butt and one wonders just how many films and TV programs would benefit from 3-D imaging. However, technology for a 3D TV system that does not require special glasses is now in development.
The future is ever present.
