Up to this point (and including the latest "Chuck" episode in "3D"), the only place to get even halfway-decent 3D is at an Imax theater.

I had the same problem. I went to Universal Studios and they had this 3D Spiderman "ride" and the 3D kept going in and out on me. But it did work a little. Maybe your disorder is further developed than mine. :-)]]>Feb 9th 2009 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/
I recently, saw Coraline in 3D, it looked very impressive. Polarized glasses are perfectly comfortable and cheap, the Nvidia 3D LCD 3D glasses I've tried give me a severe headache (likely from the glasses flickering rapidly). As shown at the last CES, next-gen LCDs are suppose to be able to project polarized light that would make it look like the 3D movies or attractions at amusement parks.]]>Feb 9th 2009 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 9th 2009 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/.]]>Feb 9th 2009 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/
hahaha Actually mines about the same. The 3D does work a little bit some of the time, but the rest of the time I have to strain to try to see it. I rode that same ride and some of the 3D I could see pretty well :D]]>Feb 9th 2009 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/
Superbowl halftime commercials and Chuck in 3D both sucked. Washed out colors, cardboard cutout effect, it was more distracting than entertaining. Polarized 3D effect seems to be just as effective without the Red/Blue headache. The LCD shutter method produces the best results (if it doesn't give you a headache).]]>Feb 10th 2009 12:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 10th 2009 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 9th 2009 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/
3-D is 1970's tech that was cool for about 5 minutes. Even the Imax shit is lame.

Unless their 3D FHD looks like a hologram and can give me a blowjob in the process, I'm not interested...]]>Feb 9th 2009 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/
seriously chill out. you dont like 3D, we get it. you think its gimmicky (which i will agree it can be). but at least this is a step in the right direction. i dont think i would put down the coinage for something like this, as its likely to be too expensive, but i wouldnt call my friend a moron for getting it.]]>Feb 9th 2009 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 9th 2009 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 9th 2009 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 9th 2009 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/
shiny black plastic frames please? ]]>Feb 9th 2009 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 9th 2009 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 9th 2009 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/
And 3D is only gimmicky because up to this point that how they've been made. Are any of you dimwits also going to call ... oh, say ... "Space Station" (IMAX 3D) a gimmick just because it was in 3D? Or perhaps "Into the Deep" (3D IMAX)? Or **ANY** 3D IMAX movie? Are they all gimmicky as well? Yeah, try to equate "Space Station" with "Jaws III".

Sheesh.]]>Feb 9th 2009 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/
Other things they could do for now is to film on digital whenever anybody considers filming on 16mm for cost reasons, and stop pretending that 24 frames per second somehow looks better than higher frame rates. And they could stop bumping up the contrast so much when they've lit their scenes boringly.]]>Feb 9th 2009 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 9th 2009 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 9th 2009 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 9th 2009 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/

First off, glasses free 3D tech is very much available in many flavours, they're mostly just very expensive. Take a look at these guys: http://www.holografika.com/
They probably have the best solution currently available, but the truth is that I have never seen an autostereoscopic display in person before. As for the guys that can't see the 3D effects properly, I'm not too sure what kind of visual impairment you may have, but if you have depth perception you should be able to see the 3D without any difficulty. As for wearing regular glasses, bull... they don't affect anything in anyway (except making your sight better). I wear glasses and have seen many 3D movies, they're all fine.

Second, the whole thing with the SuperBowl and Chuck 3D episode is a newer tech called ColorCode 3D. It's more or less the same as the old red and blue anaglyph 3D but instead used yellow and blue and a patented algorithm for making the images. It provides better results than the old style while being able to use any display (print, any TV, monitors, etc.).

Third, If you want to truly well done movie in 3D you need to see Journey to the Center of the Earth. Very cheesy plot, very well done 3D. There are a few things that many 3D filmers still need to learn; convergence and separation. If either is not done correctly then you most likely will get a headache regardless the tech used. Convergence is more or less at what depth the image is going to be the same distance as the screen/display actually is. That's a very dumbed down way of saying it, but I can't think of a better way. Separation is the distance between the lenses (the cameras used for filming, not your glasses). Basically the wider apart they are, the smaller things will appear to you. These two reasons are most likely you've gotten a headache from those 3D movie ride things. Plus the whole 'your body is moving this way while you see something else happening' aspect can make anyone hurl.

Finally, the best application that I see for 3D is gaming. Playing a game in true 3D is next to none. It takes the whole experience to a new level (no pun intended). For your own sake, don't dismiss 3D as just a gimmick.]]>Feb 9th 2009 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 10th 2009 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 10th 2009 1:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/panasonic-sets-out-to-bring-3d-full-hd-to-blu-ray-by-2010/Feb 11th 2009 11:36AM
