An improved, less nauseating, version of 3D that you don't need glasses for. The only catch is that you need a special TV to view it on. We may get to start seeing it as early as next year. There's a lot of unconfirmed rumors that James Cameron is using it to film "Avatar."

I love hearing about this stuff and am glad I'm not the only one who wants a rediculously oversized 3-D home movie theater. Not only movies, but talk about immersive video game possibilities. This gets us all that much closer to virtual reality. Not sure what 3DH is. Do tell. This news was an unexpected surprise.

I'm with Finaljoe on this one. Why should I have to wear rayban glasses for something I detest anyway. 3D sucks (IMO). Don't want it ever. Lol, your a sick bastard DON !!

It is totally different now. I can *almost* promise it won't even give you headaches. 3-D used to give me headaches as well, but this new technology doesn't, and I've been on the imdb boards for Journey to the Center of the Earth, which used this newer tech, and there are many people on there that say the same thing about the headache thing. No more red and blue paper glasses. The glasses are JUST like sunglasses now, only the lenses aren't shaded. That's IT. And if you were to watch the movie with the glasses off, it would look just like any other normal non 3-D movie. No multiple fuzzy lines of various colors or anything like that. As much as Journey to the Center of the Earth sucked in terms of script and acting, the 3-D technology used in it was outstanding, and I hope for a future in that technology. My ultimate dream would be to have Jurassic Park re-released in theaters with that technology. FinalJoe, 3-D technology is NOT the same as it was back then. It is totally different now.

Film works as a flat medium. There is something naturally appealling about it to the human eye. They tried Cinerama in the 50s with How the West Was Won and it flopped, They've already tried 3D in the 50s and the 80s and it's already flopped both times. No matter how improved 3D is it will never compete with the visual appeal or QUALITY of flat cinematography. And Toy Story in 3D? Ugh. That's just as bad as Gone with the Wind in widescreen or Ted Turner trying to fuck up Citizen Kane with his crayolas. What next? The Mona Lisa in 3D? Bring your 3D glasses to the Louvre kids! 3D is okay for a novelty but if it lasts for anything more than a couple of minutes I get a headache.
