While I have great respect for Cameron and believe Avitar will probably be successful box office wise, 3D is just a gimmic designed to get more people back into the theater. Having to wear 3D welding glasses (see above) in order to enjoy the "experience" has NEVER been enjoyable.

3D is a very minor nich format and no matter how "Ooh Aah" Avitar is I do not think the overwhelming majority of people are going to dump their HD tv's and other equipment to buy into it.

I’m not buying HD until 3D is there.

All the technology is right there. Everything. Resolution, refresh, shutters, data stream, disc capacity. All that’s needed is the industry will to coordinate them. As it’s so easy to do so, it WILL happen - and there’s no point in buying HD until that trivial component of full 3D is resolved.

I was born with amblyopia and lack central vision in one eye because of it. I have never enjoyed "binocular vision" and technically have no depth perception. In fact I got my drivers license at sixteen and have never had a problem parallel parking or maneuvering in traffic.

There is no way that I can see those "magic pictures" that were popular some years ago and neither the red/blue nor the "shutter" glasses will work for me. For me 3D is a gimmick and a waste of money. I just hope it doesn't displace standard HD as the "new best thing ever".
