I don't know why they just don't develop a 3D headset with a wireless adapter, surely that would solve a lot of problems with head positioning and such. Each eyepiece being a screen in itself rather relying on a 3DTV with all the shutter glasses or whatever.
The highest res 3D goggles I've seen on the market so far are 1280x720 units. If Full HD versions are released I'd consider a pair, but they'll probably be the best part of $1k when first released.

A very private sort of viewing experience though; shutting out the rest of the world.

Well if one doesn't have 3D glasses needed to watch the 3DTV screen then one is shut out of the experience anyway.  It is no different with headphones.
I'm sure if the technology was cheap enough and had decent resolution then it would be a best seller for 3D viewing, even HDTV, DVD, computer games and Blu-ray movies too. One might not need a projector either and would have full immersion by 2 little light weight wrap-a-round screens.

Interesting... I wonder if Dolby are using this tech. or something similar?

http://i.engadget.co...-zero-crosstal/

http://www.dtvforum....5

Dolby develops their own proprietary tech j [with phillips in this case ] so they can license it out [and sue :pinch:] so while it may be based on this type of research when they finish it it will be to their high standard   :hug:   They've already got some  tv ce's in the pocket ;  i wonder who ...

Its telling that the research department is as big as the audio department - responsible for pl2x/z truehd and dolby atmos object based sound etc

Just if they will manage to really deliver what they promised. I mean what they provided on NAB didn't have anything with HD, just blurry, if you get close you'll feel nauseous cause of the lens-mirroring, if you step away 3D effect decreases.

On Topic: If you now use active 3D 3-chip DLP Projectors you already have a great 3D feeling, and you can use it for TV as for Gaming. And beside i still think on TV 3D is more a gimmick, while on gaming it's a complete new world. Anyway on DLP you still have disadvantages: The price (to get a high quality, HD 3-chip Projector you already have to play a lot (if you want 1080p with a single projector expect 10k), don't forget the wall you need and you have to exchange the lamps), you still need glasses (but on such a good projector like from christie - HD20K f.e., or this, resp F35, you don't have ghosting, get headache, etc. they are blazing fast) and expect a high energy-bill too.

Yet i just use an 24" FHD Shutter/3D Vision Monitor mainly for gaming and am happy with that for now.

No need to spend $10k plus on a 3 chip DLP projector for 3D, single chip DLP's work great. They can be had for less than $1k and easily outperform any LCD based display for 3D. Power consumption is about the same as a large flat panel TV so not much at all, and lamps are cheap.

The expensive 3 chip DLP's are primarily for super high brightness to illuminate ultra larger screens. The HD20K is rated at 18,000 Lumens and the Titan Super Quad 20,000 Lumens. These are the sort of projectors you will find in commercial cinemas not a home theatre. Even the F35 is 7500 Lumens, several  times brighter than a home theatre model and totally unnecessary for screens under 200".

The HD20 and F35 dont even support 144Hz 3D while the sub $1000 BenQ W1070 single chip DLP does.

Now might be a good time to move up from that little 24”. :D Not only do you get 144Hz 3D but a dramatically larger screen to enjoy movies. :thumbsup:
