Nvidia's 3D Vision reaches critical mass

[TheMailMan78]

I read somewhere that people experience headaches when using the 3D tech for longer periods of time. Can anyone comment (intelligently) on that?

I used a pair at Best Buy last week for about 15 minutes and got a pounding headache. All that damn flickering kills me. They were exactly like these......

I'm sorry but Nvidia did NOTHING new with this tech. The SEGA ones killed my head to.

75hz+ per eye would be less likely to cause headaches IMO.

( 60hz is still slow enough for the human eye to detect differences, so you will be "seeing" the shutters even if you don't actually you know, see them lol)

Where as 75hz is around that point where humans see a nice super smooth image ( assuming it's something moving at a rate we're used too)

Thoughts?

That's average. Some humans don't notice the flickering of TL lights either. I can't stand it, it's like standing in a disco. Same problem goes for CRT TV's, unless they use some sort of ghosting so you don't get a short dash of blank screen in between refreshes. CRT's started to get comfortable near 100hz for me.

That's why I put the + he

Just for the people with ungodly eyes lol

All I'm saying is shutter glasses have been done before and have failed before.
3D will not succeed on 2D screens. You simply miss a dimension in the medium (the screen) to get a good 3D image.

Yes, in the past everything backed by Hollywood succeeded. But Blu-Ray is just a mediocre success, Hi Definition is far from worldwide yet and 3D will not become mainstream at all.

This entire discussion is proof that there are tons of people who believe current 3D technologies are crap and simply not worth the investment. And if half of the techies isn't enthusiastic about the tech, you miss half the audience necessary to launch your product.

What I see happening next is the people who bought the first 3D TV's will not get much content in the next couple of years and when they are ready for a new TV they will not consider 3D again.

120hz is smooth to me. Plus has anyone noticed the picture in 3D movies look dull? I mean its like the brightness is turned down.

When I saw a 3d movie when I was 14 at IMAX there was no difference between normal cinema.

I'm talking about the TV stuff. Cinema always looks dull.
