@ CreepinJesus Yeah it would. I've been blind in my left eye since birth, so IRL depth perception isn't such an issue, but small fast moving objects coming straight at me leads to embarrassing and painful results.
Probably why I hated sports, or never really got the whole ":o" over widescreen. :P
I have amblyopia in my left eye, was discovered when i was 9. after trying different exercises, patches & stuff, we gave up. sucks man. i am 20 now, & cannot drive, watch 3d movies, play cricket.
second, there will come a time when there will be artificial eyes or some kind of implant/contact that can be wired into the brain. it's just a matter of time.
there is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/606938.stm there was a newer one somewere that was connected were the eye was instead of the back of the head and the eye came in glasses and was wierless to the head and had improoved vision.

As it happens, I just acquired a 200Hz HDTV, unfortunately I'll never be able to experience 3D because I'm 85-90% blind in my left eye.
I feel your pain ijyt. I've recently become 100% blind in my right eye. Freaking sucks.
I'm blind in my right eye, so I too, feel your guys pain. :( Hopefully in the future they can figure something out for people like us.
Don't mean to be rude, but wouldn't 3D video games give you a disadvantage in the depth-perception side of things?
Add my name to the 'blind in one eye' engadget club. It already has 3 more members than I thought it would!
I guess we can just wait it out until they figure out proper 3D holograms.

Clearly engadget readers watch too much porn.
