3D TV causes headache and pain to the eyes. These are the main and most significant two reasons for 3D TV to yet have a mass acceptance. However, this isn’t stopping companies from betting big on this technology and are ploughing sizeable amounts of investment on this emerging sector. The question therefore that comes to mind is why is the company doing this way?

The question is indeed a serious one even though one has the option of turning off the 3D option in case of any feeling of discomfort. The option of doing so can be executed by the flick of one button. Yet the general dislike for 3D is present amongst viewers and the company continues to pour in funds towards the progression of this technology.

The recently concluded CES however did not have much of 3D presence at the event. Research on the effect of 3D on viewers also is at its very nascent stages. We therefore have a technology that is being pushed without much of preliminary work done behind it.

The American Optometric Association has gone on to place on record that 25 percent of the American viewers would be facing some discomfort if they were to view 3D content.

The balance 75 percent hate the usage of the very uncanny glasses that needs to be worn to view 3D. There are companies though which have come out with models that do not need these glasses.

TV manufacturing companies have been giving a lot of talk about 3D which till now has not even been taken by the viewers with the proverbial pinch of salt. They have just point black refused to take any drop of that gullible juice. Hollywood itself had its share of blame to take in this 3D game when they came out with 3D version of movies that were never supposed to have any 3D element in it to get the viewers interest. Other TV networks that show sports events have no idea how to film for a 3D stream. Technology maybe there but the companies that further this technology needs to get their act together and only then would they be able to push this technology to the viewer.
