I can see where in today's essentially non-3d aware world, selling 3D
wedding pictures is difficult. It's possible that 3D will get easier to
market when LCD glasses, or the equivalent are present in most homes. This
would make it practical and understandable to the customer that they can
view their 3D shots on the VCR or the home computer. Including the high
quality prints as part of the package along with a viewer is professional
thinking and more likely to be used when it's function is understood and so
easily demonstrated by the VCR method. (What I mean is that they are more
likely to get the itch to see it in higher resolution than the VCR provides.
The VCR provides an easy way for general access to the 3D, therefore they
are more aware that it is there for the looking.)
