Social Media Networking & Demise Of 3D Television

By Rob Sutter


Television and 3D was, at least in the eyes of some, a match made in heaven. It almost seemed like a wave of the future, especially when technology can only grow from this point onward. With the recent news that the plug on 3D TV has been pulled, I cannot help but feel like my suspicions of it being a passing gimmick are becoming more and more realized. I am sure that those in the field of social media networking would be able to agree with me on the matter, too.

The BBC has recently made the announcement that it would be cancelling its 3D programming, which has to be a devastating blow to those who thought that this would be the wave of the future. If you were to ask me, though, I cannot help but think that this has shown just how much of a novelty it was. Yes, it's fun for a lark and I am sure that some will get more of a kick out of it than others. However, to call it a way of the future would be nothing short of a lie.

This is interesting because I have heard quite a bit about the Nintendo 3DS and how it has integrated this feature without glasses. Being an owner of the handheld myself, I can see the ways it can be done well and I support the developers which have utilized it in such a way. However, I find myself playing more with 3D off than on. I like being able to see it in action for a while but anything more just seems worthless and more often than not it has broken my focus.

While one cannot argue against the concept of 3D as a novelty, it's not something that's needed to full enjoy something. Whether you're talking about television, games, or even movies, it's not required and I'm sure that those in social media networking will be able to tell you the same. I never felt like my experience was changed in any way because of the presence of 3D, whether it was good or bad. I believe that it will only stay at the level akin to a toy, which is what firms such as fishbat may agree with.

You may be led to believe that I simply do not like 3D at all but I do see the value behind it. There is always going to be that group of people that has never experienced 3D technology before, no matter if you're talking about what they see on screen or within gaming experiences. However, it's not needed to fully enjoy what you're being supplied. It's meant to enhance it and I can only correlate the term "novelty" to it more than just about any other.
