re 3D- I don' agree with you on 3D. I think it's a natural extension to improve the entertainment experience after better sound and higher definition. It also has the biggest impact on the spectators experience, imo. I don't have a 3D TV and would never buy one right now but I think it's going to be mainstream in 2 years with a fairly moderate markup compared to std TV's. I have watched movies in 3D (RealD and Dolby 3D) and found both thoroughly enjoyable. I noticed some artifacts but they did not impact my experience much. Adding the 3rd dimension is a natural path to improve the spectators experience imo. From a technical point of view, all that needs so be done is encode (in the TV) and decode (the glasses) a different information for the left and right eye. Dolby does use colors, RealD uses polarization and current LCD uses time. I am sure an economical way to solve the technical hurdles for he mass market will be found.FWIW I think 3D is not limited to entertainment only, in fact the roots of the technology are in defense visualization. Take my word with a grain of salt, some of my work is related to 3D <g>.
