While certain people think the future is now for stereoscopic 3D in televisions, id Software president Todd Hollenshead is still skeptical. While he liked Avatar, he thinks there are still some hurdles for the technology to leap.
“I know the stuff in your living room is different. You can get higher quality glasses that fit. But you still gotta sit in your living room wearing these glasses. And then if you’re playing games and move your head then it can get out of phase, which is a major issue, said Hollenshead. “And, also, the TVs are f***ing expensive.

“At the very uber end of the videophiles, those guys are going to adopt that. But that’s not going to be wide enough adoption to create substantial change within the gaming market. It has to be more pervasive and more widely adopted before it makes sense for videogame development companies to invest,” he said. “You may have one or two that are like, oh, we’re going to fly the banner of this and we’re going to make our name on this one thing. But to have really meaningful differences is going to require some more time. The price is going to have to come down and you’re going to have to have more widespread adoption.”
