Looks pretty cool. Almost all the problems that people complain about with current 3D wouldn't even be an issue with that thing.

You hate 3D, or you hate the current method producing 3D effects? This thing is about as close as you can get to real life, as it will use two screens, as opposed to splitting an image displayed on one screen.

Unless you go around wearing an eye patch, what you're saying you dislike is 3D effects... not 3D. This device would not be 3D effects, it would be pretty much like real life. All the problems people complain about with 3D (people with less manly eyeballs than myself, apparently. :D) are related to the way two alternating images are rapidly displayed on a single screen, and the way that they are separated for each eye. This device has a separate screen for each eye. The eye wouldn't be fooled into constantly refocusing.

Yeah it looks awesome, but like all sony products it will be inaccessible to the average consumer. Make it a mass consumer friendly product, it could be a game changer, until holographic tech is perfected

It is probably amazing, honestly...the problem is that if you haev giant parties and social settings this won't replace a TV. OLED's are amazing though, I've known that for years. I was excited to see the VITA sports that tech.

I saw a Star Trek Episode where Wesley Crusher had one of those SONY 3D OLED headsets you posted in the OP.

Star Trek, if you didn't know, is actually a documentary footage of the future sent from a wormhole...most people, I'm surprised to hear, didn't know that.

I'd like to know that as well, in regards to your side note. It's an interesting concept but as someone already said, it won't replace your TV for social viewing.

Well I'd make them all hard cover, arrange them alphabetically and have them each in their own little sections from Patristics to History!

Is that a link to the "Paka Paka Effect"? Because if it is, you should take that down..you could end up hurting someone. Edit: nevermind.

Looks cool, but I have a feeling that the reality would be far, far less impressive than the commercial.

Does it come with a lifetime supply of aspirin because you won't be able to use that for long without horrible eye strain.

I'm sure it won't be very impressive eitherl. They had these TV glasses back when I was a kid. My friend had them like 15 years ago. Obviously the picture will have vastly improved but the effect of the "huge screen" doesn't actually work.

$800 really is pretty acceptable for what you get, although I can't see it having much mainstream appeal, a few gamers who buy ultra high end pc parts and have multiple monitors might be willing to take the plunge. A family of four are hardly going to go for it, especially the anti social aspect of having to take the headset off to talk to each other. These visors have been available for years usually using LCD tech, but they never take off. I can't see this one doing any better, 3D isn't becoming a mainstream hit like HD, people seem to be rejecting 3D for the most part. It doesn't help that most of the content is a waste of time, and there really isn't much material from the past in 3D, unlike HD that had pretty much every film ever recorded and many programs.

That's the Temperature at which books burn, which implies that we will be watching too much TV not reading?

Either way, Ray Bradbury ftw. :P

This will also never catch on because you have to have one for every person to view. You can no longer just watch TV with the family. You all have to have one and you might as well not even be watching it with anyone because you're physically plugged in and tuned off from the rest of the world. These are just a gimmick.
