Comment Re:3D works really poorly on TV-sized screens (Score 1) 116

A close explanation, but not exactly right. The reason clipping the 3D pyramid is bad is because if one object is seen by one eye, but not the other at the edge of the screen, that object appears to be floating - destroying the illusion of the "stereo window". I've been a stereo photographer now for nearly 20 years, and floating edges are a common problem with photos taken by newbie stereographers. Stereo television can certainly work just fine on any size TV screen - I have NO idea where you got that BS. I have friends working with both field sequential and side by side 3D TV. I've dabbled with Super8 and 16mm stereo films myself, and they project fine at sizes from 12 inches on up to 70"x70". Perhaps if you've been working with Imax 3D they've given you this mis-information. Due to the large size screen, Imax 3D effectively has no stereo window limitations. The problem with 3D TV is a lack on content and the reluctance of the general public to pay a premium for the technology. Unfortunately, the inexpensive 3D TV system, field sequential, flickers noticably when shown on a standard NTSC television. While I wish DDD success in their venture - I'm not putting any money into it...
