Its a technology still not fully matured but something my Boss is really into and interested for. It would be amazing to see moving 3d image with out glasses and other sht (occulus, etc) on a large screen.

It would be interesting to see how this works and if it would catch on. It seems that the whole 3D TV with glasses thing is now gone as many new models don't have 3D at all. It's not a surprise though, I'd rather watch the normal version of any movie as the current 3D is just a gimmick and doesn't bring anything new to the experience besides one or two scenes that actually benefit from it.

That has nothing to do with the TV or the technology. It has to do with lack of good media.

Also, Nintendo 3DS already has 3D without glasses, and it works pretty well. It is called autostereoscopy. Somebody must have figured out how to make it on a big screen, which is pretty neat, I agree.

Also DO NOT confuse stereo vision with VR. Oculus/Vive are totally different technology than 3D TV. You do not put on an Oculus/Vive headset to see a 3D movie. And I do not mean how the image is presented to you. But the whole motion tracking/low latency render.

This form of 3D has been around since at least the 1990s, I saw a demo at a big electronics show around then, remember there was a CD console there, don't remember if it was Sony's stand with the PS or Phillips stand with the CDi.

Anyway, they still haven't made much progress on the main problem, it's very angle/position sensitive, people don't want a TV they can't still follow action on if they walk across room to get something, or requires their seating in very specific places. Single user situations are most ideal.

I saw some deployed this morning in fact, local Casino sent me free breakfast coupons, so I went, and there were some 3D screen slot machines. (Yeah, they're mostly all video slots these days.) Which had a fixed slide back and forth seat in front and a depth control like the 3DS.

After the steaming pile of crap that was MIB III cinematography wise, I deliberately avoid fiscally supporting any movies that seem to make 3D the main point, because 2 or 3 jumpscares aside for the 3D version, they are more like woodenly acted stage plays as they try to keep depth in the scene but no fricking lateral movement. So regard 3D as not just a gimmick, but one that's actively ruining movies.
