Amblyopia (where one eye sees but my brain won’t process it so well) is a real crapper.

It’s not a company, just a brand.

A photon is a photon. Watching TV with the lights out, sitting too close, or just plain using your own hand will not make you go blind. Wait a sec, are you talking about the Doom / Quake problem where some people get queasy watching?

It was AWESOME !!

It is cheap and it works from all angles.

Also these are prototypes. Of course they are not going to have 64 viewing points yet. There is nothing wrong with them having demos with limited viewing spots.

Seriously though, what are you talking about? Your eyes are set apart, and thus each receives light coming from a different angle. Your brain then puts together the two images to form a “3d” view. If you are saying science doesn’t know exactly how the brain processes this, that’s fine, but it has nothing to do with developing 3d displays. That would be useful in something like designing robotics with “3d vision” or maybe replacing damaged portions of a brain in the distant future. A 3d display just needs to send a different picture to each eye and your brain will put it together. No advances in neurological science will change this fact.

You’re right about RCT3. Total letdown. People basically wanted RCT1 with the ability to ride the coasters. That’s what RCT2 should have been (but was only a full-priced expansion pack for the original). No one wanted a fully 3d interface with weird-looking people for RCT3, which is why we haven’t seen an RCT4.
