So you wanna be a Cylon

Sony's new 3D display
















I found this link today and thought I'd share. It sounds like a pretty sweet idea, though I don't quite understand all the clamor about 3D. Sure, it's a nifty little novelty, but there are great strides that must be taken to make it THE format. The glasses need the go, and the technology that doesn't use the glasses needs to be tweaked so you don't get headaches or sick to your stomach after an hour or so.

Instead of working so hard to make movies 3D, I think they should work on making 3D the format for games. Everyone wants more realistic, immersive gaming. Imagine running around Orgrimmar and it looks like you are truly running through town. 3D movies still seem forced and gimmicky. We need something better than just another catchphrase you can throw in front of a movie title and charge 15 dollars more.
