Fundamentally they believe 3D will take off. Recall the 3D tv hype?

People don’t want any of that.

The manufacturers and the marketplaces need us to buy a new thing otherwise we would just enjoy the thing that we have until the wheels fall off. TVs had to get innovative to keep fueling replacements.

CRT's still minimally existed in consumer spaces when 3D TVs were being crammed down our throats. I was grateful when the DLP versus plasma versus LCD wars were over.

But there always has to be a new product platform around the corner for businesses that are requiring endless growth will die. Consider the InstantPot as an object lesson, and then look at the absolutely ludicrous ecosystem of kitchen branded appliances that the Ninja Bullet spawned.

Those of us that bought into vr, and then bought into it again. And then again. Like it or believe in it for reasons that clearly aren't going to make us profit.

I do not anticipate any AR Revolution, after both Microsoft and Google drink deeply from that goblet and clearly lost. I don't think meta is new project in that space will be ultimately useful for anyone but perverts and con artists.

I'm increasingly skeptical of growth and Innovation for growth and Innovations sake. I kind of just want to play, now. And also I would do crimes for a refrigerator and a washing machine that was supposed to last 20+ years of continuous operation like our grandparents had.

I do want 3D, but the implementations just have too many drawbacks.

If the nearest store still has one, do a demo of it. It is quite impressive. You can see where they’re trying to get ready for whatever comes after smartphones

I don't recall any hype around it at all except that it was a thing that companies made. Most of them require glasses so I really don't understand how they thought that would ever catch on.

Before goldeneye there was no 3d Nintendo gaming.
