There are glasses-less 3D screen systems already out there. The Nintendo 3DS just launched last week. Mitsubishi has their tech, INTEL has their tech and NVIDIA is working on something too. It's going to take a while before the tech makes it's way out to the masses. Some theaters still don't even have HD projection.

Yeah, it exists but is in it's infancy. I've seen one of the glasses-less screens on the Fujifilm camera, and it only creates the illusion properly if your head is perfectly positioned. If you move at all, or move the camera away from a perfect, level and dead center position, the 3D is lost completely and all you see on the screen is a blur. Which is exactly what Cameron has said, and then he went onto say that the tech won't exist for cinema and TV screens for 10+ years because of this issue. Not everyone can be dead center and perfectly leveled in a theater/living room, unfortunately. It's a long ways off.

I'm not disagreeing with Cameron's statement, I'm just telling Cilogy that the tech exists in working form. INTEL'S tech worked significantly better, but hasn't manifested itself into anything and they were showing that off at CES 2010.

Yeah,but most of the stuff at CES never gets into real world this early and glassless 3D is no exception.Like Cameron has said, it will take too much time to turn into anything useful.Then there's problem of converting old videos into satisfactory 3D.So yeah, we won't have desirable 3DTV in next 5-10 years.

That's a gross exaggeration, most of the stuff that gets revealed at CES makes gets put on store shelves within the same year unless stated otherwise. That's what the trade show is for lol. Mitsubishi's glasses less TV should be out in 2012. Some of the best TVs on the market are 3DTVs and they're certainly selling well.

but we can't count on them too much.we all remember hd-dvd fiasco right?
you should give time to let the technology settle down and become widespread.

well, I was talking about prototypes, not 'coming soon' products.and when released, these products cost an arm and a leg.

This is true. However... 3D tv's output a better picture than 2D's since they need another processor, so many people may get 3D tv's for that point alone. There's also an infinite lack of quality 3D content, which pushes this farther back still.

An article about the general lack of success of 3D films, with a very nice mention of Inception praising it and noting that it wasn't in 3D. When you look at it, apart from Harry Plopper, Inception was the most successful non-3D film last year.
