I've seen 3D tried several times over the last 14 years. Never really worked.

What technology are you thinking of using?
The old red and blue glasses kind of suck, of course.
I got some 3D shutter glasses maybe ten years ago and was impressed.
That technology temporarily went out with CRT monitors, though, if it stood a chance before that. It seems it's now coming back as 3D TV as LCDs become
capable of true 120 Hz refresh. That requires expensive shutter glasses, though,
and a top of the line monitor for true 120Hz rather than interpolated.

Personally I like the polarized 3D used for feature films now, but I don't know
of any way to do that in the home. One manufacturer has a 3D TV set which
does not require glasses, but you have to arrange your chairs in just the
right positions. I believe there are three "sweet spots" where the 3D works.
Two people sitting next to each other on the couch couldn't both see the 3D.
