SINGAPORE (AP) - If Dreamworks Chief Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg is right, you'll soon be out shopping for the latest in designer glasses. 3D glasses that is.
Hollywood studios such as Dreamworks, Walt Disney and 20th Century Fox are betting 3D will finally become the next big thing in film, luring moviegoers to the theater with advancements in a technology that first caught viewers' attention in the 1950s.
Now, if they'd only make 3-d glasses that can easily be worn over regular glasses....
There are some. I have some clip-on polarized 3-D glasses and anaglyph glasses, and some of the active shutter designs work fairly well with glasses.
3-D has other issues in theatres, but I'd get way too technical way too fast in discussing them. Besides, Katzenberg and the others aren't looking as much at the theatrical distribution as the eventual distribution to home HDTV, which will likely have strong encryption that is impossible with flat movies.
Cripes, not this crap again. They tried to bring 3D back so many times. The real problem is that it doesn't really add anything to the story. They always do something corny to emphasize.
Poo! 3D is great! You have NO idea how much 3D is really out there in the world. TV, ads, movies ... stuff you don't think is 3D ... really is. :P
