In cinemas they made huge ads for 3D movies, big deal at start.
Now? They sell 3x as many tickets for 2D standard.
5 years ago or so, TV shops were filled up with 3D TV sets, everywhere. Now no more.
I was convinced finally by my son who was 6 or 7 when he first saw a 3D cartoon in cinema.
He never ever wanted to watch 3D since then.
Teenagers watch movies in 2D, they don't bother with 3D. Ask at Your local cinema what sells. When young ppl do not jump on that = no future.
It is just the human brain which is not familiar with that effect. It denies the 3D effect as it is something our brains do not know at all. I mean the faked 3D with glasses.
Well now, There is a lot to digest there.

First, 3D TV's failure had more to do with broadcast and satellite TV's refusal to show it.
It had to do with all the investment they just made in Digital/ATSC ie HDTV and they had no competition to worry about in the US if they both decided to drop it.
3D continues to lead in Box Office Movies. If it were so failed, why they still making them?

By the way, those 3D movies look fantastic on a VR HMD. Super sized screen can't be matched as a viewer. Better than a IMAX theater.

The disorientation some get has some to do with directional scaling and pupil distance in the optics if they are not correct. A problem fixed or fixable on some units.
The rest of any disorientation I liken to stepping on land after being on a ship for a day.

There is no way anyone could try this and not say that they don't feel immersed in the action as long as the production work was at least fairly well done.

Unless you are a developer, you have only had access to the low end of the market for hardware.
They are going to get better. In fact, the new Galaxy S7 will be coming out in march ??
Much faster, cooler and lower battery drain. Really designed for VR use.
Not to mention the Rift, Vive, StarVR, FoveVR This Year and each with something special to offer.
This has hardly even started yet.
