Well,
@cordoba I can say, I was in that 3D Thread all those years ago. Early on, it was a fair thread. But it quickly became pretty stupid. I would advise anyone who has been domaining less than 5 years to read the first year or more and watch how folks quickly talk themselves into the poorhouse making their own basis for their actions without merit. I quit posting there within about 6 months and quit reading after 16 months.
And I might remind
@KingslayerVR that it really was not just about 3D TV. But that is what got most in a frenzy. I was using stereoscopic video glasses at the time that thread started. We then had 3D content of various methods on youtube and a bit later GoPro created a 3D kit for it's hero cameras.
But there are many things going on that you most likely did not hear about going on back then.
Unless you like to play with cutting edge tech or read forums of the folks that do.
Many of the things you enjoy today and take for granted, I was experimenting with kids in universities when they were first testing them out on the internet. Even helped some work through code issues.
So I have been blessed somewhat being in the right place at the right time. It has only given me a deeper understanding of tech development. Despite having worked on a few bleeding edge projects myself.
It does not help much with names except to know how difficult it can be and how long it takes to bring a good thing to market. And money rules the operations. So most sell-out to larger entities.
But I will say again, it was the Cable and Satellite company's that killed 3DTV.
And that is a long story itself.
But now we have real stereoscopic spherical TV, So it did not die, just upgraded formats.
You just have to look at the big tech picture in a historical perspective to see that.
I still suggest reading that old 3D thread to anyone who hasn't !
