Re: The rise and demise of 3D

[wier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Bob Wier)]

I've seen it said (and it seems reasonable to me) that the big
problem was the lack of a way to easily project them. IE, the necessity
for people to wear polarizer glasses, the potential for eyestrain on 
misadjusted projectors (on my TDC project or view, for example, it's
very easy to get VERTICAL mis-alighment) - the relatively dark images
due to the polarizers as well, the lack of an automatic feed (carosel
type) model, etc.

On thing to bear in mind is that back in the 50's, gathering the family
around to show slides or movies was a pretty common event (much more
so that happens today, I think). I know that my sisters won't ever
take the trouble to show our 50 year old 8mm kodachrome home movies via a 
projector, but will look at them occasionally if I put them onto
videotape...
