>Honestly I don't know one (one) person that sits down with their family to watch 3D.

It is sad. I know a few. :-)

LG do not use shutter glasses. They use polarization and passive glasses.
As for marketing. I have some sales information and can tell you that 3D sets picked up fast in last months.
Now heavy price war is happening in normal LCD TVs, and few months back war had been moved to 3D sets also.
"3D without glasses" won't happen without big restrictions and won't be technology used in common sets.

3D LCD shipments were up 27% last quarter. 2D LCD panels shipments remained flat.

One of LG advantages is that it is very easy to make 3D out of game or anything.
because you don't need frequency doubling.

Something that annoys me with 3D is that the feeling of depth is somehow killed by the imposed focus. If one day we can combine the focus free tech we saw emerging recently and 3D, that will be interesting ! Having some sort of glasses/helmet that could read where we want focus, and change the display accordingly.
The other thing I'd like to see (for gaming), is field of view orientation change while moving, something like this guy did with wii remote : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3vhh5_de-la-3d-dans-votre-ecran-2d_tech

Apparently with Scorcese's new film Hugo he took time to film with 3D in mind..lots of reviews gave it a lot of respect towards that. So im interested in seeing it for how he approached 3D where others have lacked.

Now Tintin...that gave me a headache....solely that every action sequence seemed to force the 3D down your throat...zipping the camera view up characters nostrils and flying out their asses every few minutes.

This is the mistake by some filmmakers and 3D is the lack of subtlety...we dont need to be grabbed by the throat and shook consistantly while shouting "LOOK ITS THREEEE DEEEEE!!!" to make a impact.
This is my problem with many 3D films.

For example I was suprised how subtle Avatar was and it added immersion....shame about the plot though.

I dont own a 3D tv...I could buy one but it just seems like a fad to me...like it was in the past...just a bit more advanced technology wise. Here in UK they keep dropping prices and adding free Bluray players and extra glasses (y'know for Gran and Grandad).

Check out this technical review of Hugo...

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/3D-Or-3D-Buy-Right-Hugo-Ticket-28023.html

Here's the synopsis....

Final Verdict: This is the only perfect score I've given, and I don't imagine I'll be giving another one any time soon. The 3D in Hugo isn't just masterfully executed, and it doesn't just enhance every beautiful shot in the film. It's integral to understanding the film, the way it hearkens back to the earliest days of cinema, the way it talks about magic tricks and new technology as new ways of telling cinematic stories. Martin Scorsese probably understands movies better than anyone on earth, and he's proven that 3D can be as important as color or CGI. You owe it to yourself to see how well he proves it. "

3D works NOW on the GH1s and 2s. There are a number of stereo guys that have been using GH's professionally since the first GH1 hack became available. I personally have used them in several commercial productions, including Anomaly, a reality 3D TV show, and Shark Defenders, a 3D shark documentary. I've also shot short pickups for 2 theatrical releases.

GH1s and 2's can be used with MANUAL lenses using a power-up sync technique (essentially turning each camera on at exactly the same time from the same power source). In my case, this consistently results in less than .02 ms of offset at the beginning of each test run and seldom more than .1 ms after 5 min. My cameras are very close in serial number - which may help when it comes to drift over time. Several guys have constructed controllers that use the V-Sync signal from the cameras to monitor drift over time and allow a startup offset to extend the sync window (the cameras initially drift towards one another, reach perfect sync, then diverge over time). Details can be found in the 3D section here.

There are lots of hopeful enhancements that would improve GH's for stereoscopic use. The top of the list is a method to jam some sync signal into the cameras to serve as a sort of genlock. Failing that, we've experimented with a method of resetting the camera clocks using some sort of trigger (such as the audio signal hitting the rails). No reason to wait for those enhancements to get out and shoot great stereo with these cameras, however.

You are right about that, it's a terrible pain in the butt. It's like Winston Churchill said about Democracy....

... dual-cameras and a beamsplitter is the worst method possible for creating 3D, except for every other method.
