Here;s the ONLY way 3D TV and movies will work.
Current 3D Technology sucks because in order to see 3D, you must feed a slightly different image to each of your eyes. When 2 Cameras shoot the same scene (1 for the left eye, and 1 for the right eye), both images are sent to 1 display (video, movie, or magazine page for example).
To split this image back for each eye, special glasses are needed. Polarized (1 eye vertical, 1 eye horizontal) work well enough, but each eye sees only 50% of the image detail (12 frames per second in the movies, 15 frames per second on TV) as well as half the luminosity (images are darker than they should be).
This being said, 3D still sucks. When SUPERMAN came out in IMAX a few years ago, parts of the movie were in 3D. I hated the 3D scenes for each of the reasons above. Shitty image quality, too dark, bleah...
The NEW way of doing things now is with the new Flat panel TV's from Sharp and others. The latest TV's are 120Hz, that is, they displays update twice as fast as other TV's. This allows them to display twice as many frames per second, or, to display 30 frames per second to EACH EYE. And during a 3D program, luminosity is increased as well.
120Hz TV's have other value as well as the image quality is better than what is currently available. A good 120hz TV costs about $3000 and features 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio thanks to OLED backlighting, etc...
I have not seen this work in real life yet but have been reading up on it. 3D May be here after all.
