Yeah 3d is still just like it was 10 years ago. I saw final destination 3d and it was the worst film i've seen all year. The effects were atrocious the depth of field was arbitrary in many parts and the CGI flames made me laugh at how crappy they were (they were literally placed at the front of the action like a see through curtain with everything else going on behind). I came out with a minor headache and the polarising glasses are so big and heavy they kept falling off my face.
It's a lame way to combat online piracy, and one that can't die a death quick enough in my opinion.
Now obviously people want to embrace this because one day it'll be amazing and I don't want to stand in the way of technology, the trouble is it won't progress without incremental improvements, but watching 3d with current levels of technology hurts my head, my eyes and my brain. It needs to be perfect from day one when it comes to vision and that's just not possible right now.
Can someone explain to me why our computers load up adobe reader extremely slowly, whereas my crappy old sony ericsson phone can open up a pdf in about 3 seconds using whatever in built software it has. Why do we still use the bloatware, why isn't the super awesome fast pdf reader standard?
