Re: [photo-3d] Must people keep bashing what we love

Um, what color is the sky on your planet?

VR gear first made popular culture circa 1990.

Virtual Boy comes out, flops.  1993.

Sega did a sequential-field thingy with the Sega Master System [pre-Genesis, 
pre '90] and we know where that didn't go.  [no follow-ons]

Face it, 3d is for "weirdie beardies".

There will come a day that you won't be able to say "3D, you know, like a 
ViewMaster." to someone and have them remember looking at stereos as a child.

Besides, who's going to bother looking at stereos after they've all gotten 
lasik?  "Hey, I've still got one good eye...."


The only saviour will come through the usual technological push: porno.

We have porno to thank for:
	VCRs in every home
	Fast modems
	High-speed internet backbones
	High-speed home internet access

So, I'm envisioning sequential-field DVDs with LCS glasses, possibly with 
multiple angles.  Hm.  Could be interesting.  Now, would the "money shot" 
break the stereo window?  (-:
