When I was at the cinema last weekend, I saw an advert for the LG Optimus which is a 3D phone. The cinema that I went to offers films in 3D. You can buy 3D televisions and a 3D graphics card for computers. The higher pricing band for 3D products still makes it a privilege, but there will be a time fairly soon when 3D cinema / TV / computing / phones will become mainstream. 4:3 screens are virtually non-existent now, owing to the more popular widescreen format. This is a good enough reason for me to be wary, even concerned actually, that 2D will vanish in favour of 3D. What have the 1-eyed got going for them?

Oh, and in b4 "worst I have 1 eye thread" :p
 
Thanks everyone, especially Fozter with the comparison, and also for the comedy answers :p Pirate eye patch is a good 'un :-) In reality, my blind eye is just a glass eye and looks like my good one.

I didn't know that donning the 3D specs renders the view back to clear 2D, so that is good to know.

I can see into the depths of holograms no probs, so if 3D technology was to become like that, then ideal. Magic Eye I could never do (does that need 2 eyes?), and I always lose at pool (again depth problem) unless my opponent pots black too early :D
 
Would that not just mean that when you see a 3D movie you just can't tell "how far away" something is?

I believe that 3D films work on stereography, so you'll see the screen as two images superimposed and illegible. Wear the specs though, as already mentioned further up and you'll see it as a single image. Colours may be limited though depending on what colour the specs lenses are.
