And then what?

You have to understand the distinction between "boom" and "fad"...
I don't think that a 3-D boom will come from people watching 3-d videos...
This will be another passing fad... And when it's over, we will be 20 years
back... And personally I don't want to see another 3-d boom followed by a
depression... I'd rather see 3-d as a specialized interest with 3-d movies
shown in special places and 3-d cameras being used by a minority in the
photographic community.  Today there is certainly room for 3-d to grow
but slowly and steadily this time... -- George Themelis
