3D gaming experience for people who wear prescription glasses? - Page 2

We shouldnt discuss which one is "better" in terms of 3D rendering (not in terms of marketability but actual visual appearance), but we can surely discuss (which we have already) when it may become a viable option.

I have a phone in my bedroom, my kitchen, the living room, etc. thanks to cordless technology. Not sure I see your point/analogy on this one. Also... ever heard of Skype?

Funny joke though And thanks for the link!

@ChrisTC - alot of people wear sunglasses just because they think it makes them look cool (with the nice side effect of shielding their eyes). Do you think you look cool in 3D glasses? If you can figure out how to market 3D glasses as the next height of fashion, you got a winner there lol, as Americans are all about image. And Im not saying thats impossible.

@adpayne - if youre 'through responding to naysayers' then why are you still asking me questions? So you can answer them for me? Enjoy talking to yourself then, lol. You seem to have a habit of twisting what I say anyway, so I can see your contributions are going to continue to be less-than-useful (to me anyway, probably pretty entertaining to everyone else).

I dont know how this turned into "beat down the guy who wants auto 3D over 3D glasses", but obviously you guys are passionate about this. And I can admire passion for something.

Hey what brand 3D glasses did you use? Id like to check them out

Also what type of prescription frames do you wear? Plastic, wire, square, circle, etc

"A 3DTV for the CEA's forecasting purposes must include support for at least one of the following three 3D display approaches: active shutter glasses through a built-in emitter or a jack for an accessory emitter with matching active shutter glasses available with the product or separately as an accessory; polarized glasses through polarized display filter with matching polarized glasses available with the product or separately as an accessory; or an autostereoscopic display -- i.e., one that requires no glasses -- such as those using lenticular lens or parallax barrier technologies."

Id like to see forecasts for 3D glasses required TVs alone - do you have a link for that?

It further goes on to say "Some programmers are expecting the adoption curve of 3DTV to mimic that of high-definition. Discovery founder and chairman John Hendricks predicted that about 5 million households are "early adopters" that will purchase a 3DTV set within the next 24 to 36 months, with another approximately 20 million affluent households that will subsequently adopt the technology."

I agree that there will be early adopters, as some people buy new tech just because its new and they can afford it. But I dont think the upward trend their describing will come to fruition (just my opinion, dont crucify me for it people LOL)

Sorry - no forecast for the glasses. Sony includes two pair with their LX900 series while Panasonic includes one so it would mess up the forecast IMO.

You are of course entitled to your own opinion. Doesn't mean it's right J/K

As 2010 moves along, we will see what's what. Q4 will be a good indicator.

I haven't seen Auto 3D myself but I suspect it looks sorta like those novelty 3D cards that shift perspective when you tilt them meaning if you move position while watching a movie there would be a distinct shift or movement in the image. I don't think I'd like that unless they come up with more than a just few viewing angles.

I've never been able to wear contacts so I'm stuck with spectacles. Even so I haven't had much problem wearing my 3D Vision glasses over my eyeglasses for 4 or more hours. If my eyes get sore it would have done so 3D glasses or not. The 3D Vision glasses don't make my ears hurt either.

I haven't found 3D to be much of an advantage in online gaming. I actually find the higher framerate of my 120hz monitor's gives me a greater advantage. I usually use 3D mode more for wow factor in easier to play single player games than I do when I need a competetive edge.

I wear prescription glasses, progressive lens. I've used CrystalEyes for over a decade and they work fine, no problems whatsoever.

There are a very few random users, prescription glasses wearers or not, that have issues; can't see stereo, get headaches or feel ill.
