molbjerg:
I'm posting this thread from on £6000 3D monitor which is on my desk.

It's actually for testing a stereographic 3d render I'm doing, but it made me chuckle that I'm just on facebook and forums on it  :P

So, basically, to make this a discussion - will we get to the point where even things as dumb as web browsers and webpages will be fully 3D (stereo)? I guess it's inevitable....

K7IA:
hmm, 3D monitor? does that mean you don't need 3D glasses?

molbjerg:
It's a passive stereo monitor, and as such it needs polarized lenses similar to those you wear in a cinema these days... But the difference to great projector set ups is that it's interlaced with one image to one eye and the other to the other, meaning that you only get half the vertical height in pixels... ie 1080p 3d = 1920*540 for each eye.

Autoscopic screens (where you don't need glasses) are a big pile of wank for now.

Bring it up to Lincoln so I can see it! :D

K7IA:
^ I see.

Back to your discussion, I too think that everything will be 3D in time. It might sound crazy but people might even have their eyes "modified" through a simple surgery that they won't need to wear 3D gear of any sort - but that is a little far in the future.

Bigger screens, more realistic 3D visuals is what I expect.
