Re: For the Widow Twanky (4.00 / 3)

IMAX 3D is superb - totally immersive.

Two random data points on 3D:

You can buy monitors with cross-polarised 3D technology (and glasses) for around double the price of a conventional monitor. I'm waiting to review on as soon as Zalman, who make it, release drivers for 3D Studio Max and make it useful for more than games and (as they put it) 'adult content.'
There are various no-glasses 3D systems in development - some interesting demos at a recent consumer electronics show. It's not consumer-level technology yet, but it will be soon.

Re: For the Widow Twanky (none / 1)

Any video technology only really breaks through into the public domain when people work out how to put "adult content" onto it

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Re: For the Widow Twanky (none / 0)

There was a small movie theatre in NY, equipped for the old 3D movies, that advertised, from time to time a 3D porn movie (I'm not sure if there was ever more than one). So the problem has already been solved...
