Research has shown that up to 56% of those 18 to 38 years of age have one or more problems with binocular vision and therefore could have difficulty seeing 3D," shares COVD President, Dr. Carol Scott, optometrist from Springfield, MO, "and about five to seven percent of children have amblyopia (lazy eye) and cannot see 3D at all."

quote:
Those 3-D commercials set to air during the Super Bowl will be useful in determining whether individuals are suffering from vision problems, the College of Optometrists in Vision Development said today (Monday). In a statement, the Aurora, Oh-based organization said, "Many viewers may be disappointed when they don't see the dazzling 3-D effects." The group estimates that as many as 56 percent of persons 18-38 years old have vision problems that would make it difficult for them to see the 3-D images. The group claims that many of these vision problems respond to optometric vision therapy.

Personally, I find some of those figures whacked for different reasons too long to explain. But I am NOT a doctor, nor do I play one on TV. My own personal experience and opinion is that only about 10-15% of the population has some problem with 3-D and generally dislike it. This is offset by a similar number of people that just love it and go out of their way to experience it.

Are the super bowl ads going to be pulfrich 3D? The Super Bowl did a pulfrich 3D half time show back in the late 80s.

The tech is called "Color Code 3D" It appears to me to be a form of anaglyph 3D smilar to red and blue lenses, but with blue and brown lenses. Their website has some sample images and video that can be viewed with the glasses that are in the supermarket displays. I've yet to get a pair of glasses, so I'm not sure what the quality looks like. The images look almost exactly like anaglyph images when viewed without glasses.

Color Code 3D

Similar to what Disney is doing, Intel is branding the technology as "Intel 3D"

You have to BUY glasses to watch Superbowl commercials in 3D? Retarded.

They've cancelled the Lingerie Bowl, what's the point? ;>
