dunno. I assume the way it was put together. This is just a static shot so it should be easy enough but distances change in action so it's not like you can just set one attribute and call it done.

No I mean 'why' as in why the mad rush for 3D? Okay, so you might have a potential 'thing' with the above setup, but like you said, "No worky with glasses." Now are we supposed to run out and buy 3D enabled software? Are we supposed to 'S'-can all the gear we spent tens of $K to be equipped for HD so we can jump on this new bandwagon? They're still pumping out LCD's with the latest '2k' capabilities to consumers. I'm just gonna' let this one pass. If 5 years from now 3D is a viable thing, I'll think about getting it. Of course by then they'll be shoving 'Holographic Imagery' down our throats by then....

You sound like a little old man yellin' "baaa! Color! Fooey!" after watching the Wizard of Oz in 1939.

You'll be watchin 3D on your tv wearing no glasses at all well within a half dozen years. Will you profit from it or will you hand the profits to your competition who elected to stay with the times? The only thing that cushioned the change from us going from SD to HD is HDV. This is the exact same thing. Some will wade out and explore, being part of the evolution of video. Some will hang onto their old VHS decks until they find some miniDV stuff on ebay.

You KNOW you'll be diggin' makin' holigraphic coolness, brother. Be a part of the force... not the one that gats choked.

ooo I LOVE that analogy!

I'm tryin' not to sound like one of those 'turn of the century' dudes, "If mankind was meant to fly... he da' been born wit' wings!" I'm a tech geek from balls to bones, but my wallet and brains ain't hearin' it right now. Chasin' technology is just stupid. The only guys that profit are the one's own all the patents and licenses of this latest wave. Jeez, I finally found a groove for HD and am gearing up to get some DSLR's in inventory and deal with the whole solid-state storarge PIA!

I'd much rather spend my profits elsewhere. Oh and I hated the Wizard of Oz. I am however lookin' forward to decent Holographic content. Sorry, I was born a 'Contrary'. I'd be the one lemming that didn't jump off the cliff because I didn't want to go the same way everyone else did.

Riding the tech wave is what we do for a livin' though. It's not like I'd be very successful if I were still a linear editor waiting for folks to come see me. I had to write the check. Then another one about every 4 years. Do I like it? Well, yeah, I do. Every check I write is smaller than the last and brings me more power than I had before.

That's freakin' cool to me.

Don't get me wrong, I agree and I wasn't sorry to see LE go the way of the Dino's. But is 3D that much of a seismic change for the better? Or is it just another gimmick to get folks who feel 'powerful by writing checks' to do so?

When the HDD vs Blue Ray wars ended it wasn't that the best tech actually won, just the best marketed. Betamax was superior tech to VHS but lost out big time because someone figured out how to make it cheaper. So far every time 3D has reared it's ugly head, eventually consumers 'chopped it off' when the novelty ran out.

I've grown accustomed to 'having to write checks every 4 years' too. But damn nearing the 'end of the latest four years' the transition is to fully solid-state, fully HD, DSLR's, multiple K displays and so on. I'd like some time to ingest and master the new tech before you put out the next stuff that's 2 waves down the road.

Samsung unveiled a 3D LED LCD HDTV that doesn’t require any 3D glasses this year at CES.

Derek, it isn't one of those "you have to cross your eyes just so to see" type 3d imaging is it?

Any feedback on how well it displayed?

Although I attended CES, I didn't get the chance to see it. Some of my colleagues at Videomaker said it was pretty awesome.

the best glasses that can be used are the ones that were given out with the "This Is It" Blu-RAy or the ones that you got from target for the 3d footage during the 52nd Grammys. when i use this pair, it looks very good to me, cause i am watching it with the right pair of 3d classes.
