Could We See A Revival of 3D TV?

A lot of people seemed to be blown away when Apple showed off what they are calling spatial video (3d).  I was always a fan of 3D films and TV and with the new revival of VR I've loved viewing 3D films, images, whether photos or computer generated.

You can take 3D videos with the AVP, the latest iphone and of course the Quest 3.  Do we think this is a new dawn for 3D content?  Meta Ray Ban 3 - will they record 3D video?  I'm sure we'll see a lot more glasses and phones with the capability.

    I don't see why people would suddenly want TVs that require special glasses or blurry lenticular display. I am still using a passive 3d tv but then I live alone. But would be nice if Q3 can cast in 3D.

      Hmmm the 3D TV I had 8 - 10 years ago had a very crisp display to be honest.

      We're also in the age of people putting on a special headset so not sure why glasses would be an issue but yeah, hopefully we will reach the point of not needing them.  It's the fact that we are now carrying phones and wearing headsets that can produce 3D content which excites me.

      Great thought on casting in 3D - hmmm...

        Ah, my point was TV wasn't only for specific shows but people also use them casually like having a glance go for what's going on. At random times so they don't wear glasses. The blurry one was only meant for lenticular type that don't require glasses. I don't know there's a crisp lenticular 3D TV. 

         

        Also 3D contents are hard to make. Even you have 3d cam if you don't do it properly people will just have motion sickness.
