I don't mean to sound like a downer, cause really, I'm not, but I keep seeing this topic come back every month or so. I had always thought that 3D was just a gimmick, is it really worth getting into?

Never really been into 3D, but I'd definitely give it a shot with Eve if they ever put it back in...

Also, your avatar's boobs are redonkulous.

It makes probing much easier and makes the tactical overlay much more useful.

EDIT: Aside from the above, it doesn't really do much for EVE, because of the lack of perspective. Most objects are so far away that you can't perceive any depth on them, and the UI elements are rendered in 2d, not in the 3d environment. This means that all of your brackets seem to be "floating" in the middle of nowhere when you turn the 3d on.

This thread is now about people who want to watch films in 3D but won't visit a theatre, where EVERYTHING is 3D.

3d is a gimmick. kinda like motion controls.

Haters gonna hate..... dont post pointless crap.

3D is amazing, those that dont have it slag it, those that do know what I am talking about.

What about your CQ and later on the entire station. How nice would it be to see some depth on the station and maybe even see your ship in it's hangar in 3D. Would give ship spinning a whole new level.

JP

tl;dr Would be great to have an update from CCP, if possible, it would be nice to be able to have the option to turn it on and off.

they had a couple of monitors to play with last fanfest with the 3d all set up.

It would be great if you didnt have to wear those glasses.

Even though it was kinda cool, i still think its just a gimmick, the same goes with 3d at the cinema.

Passive 3D monitors are currently being released so no need for 3D glasses, the quality isn't as good as the monitors that require glasses but give it time, so many people cry about having to wear the glasses so this will most likely be the solution in time...

3D isn't a gimmick, it'll be here to stay, I remember when people spoke about bluray in the same way, now it has been accepted by all.

it still makes my head hurt like hell.

Have you actually tried it on a PC or is all this based on the cinema/tv?

Basically because your brain cant handle 3d its a gimmick so dont bother supporting it.
The nice thing is the majority of normal people dont have the issues you have with 3D, its sad your brain has issues with it but some simply dont have the capacity to handle it but there is no point saying its a waste just because you cant experience it, that sir is being an *&%.

yes I have.

I got a headache for watching it. Even watching those passive 3D screens that don't require glasses makes my eyesight more tired than usual. Basically watching anything 3D for half hour is the same thing as watching something for 4 hours straight.


and no I'm not saying to stop supporting it, I'm just complaining about how my eyes can't handle it.


also it is a gimmick. a very successful one at that, since the only thing that provides is WOW factor. Sure it looks awesome, but that's all that really provides in the end, an "AWESOME!" feeling that will fade away after you watch if enough times.

it also makes my movie ticket expensive, and THAT'S what I hate the most.

You should probably go and play pong, everything else was just adding "awesome" who cares about advancing things.
Dx11 nah, it just adds gloss, dx1 thats the win.... FAIL....

oh now you're just trolling

I'll stop slag it once my head stops hurting.

I'd buy into it, when ATI have a comparable product and when it's again enabled for EVE

Not necessarily. 3D has been known to cause headaches.

And if you suffer from Myopia or Hyperopia then you can't perceive the 3D effect very well, which covers a fairly large portion of the population.

We are actively working to return this feature to EVE but there is currently no ETA. Keep those spectacles primed

For a reason: the flicker of badly synced glasses or fluorescent light messing up the effect.

without specific issues, 3D hasn't caused anybody headaches, or do you see a lot of people walking around outside holding their heads?
- Oh never mind, I guess that must be the reason for all the OTC headache pills that have been selling well since the invention of Aspirin sometime in the 1800's... that damned third dimension we always have to deal with.

What? A fairly large portion of the human population or just your family?

.....like what percentage do you regard as "fairly large"?


I guess all those Japanese, Taiwanese and Koreans should just stop working on making better 3D, cause there's a bunch of handicapped people who don't get anything out of it.

You go get people to stop building stairwells too, those aren't fair either....

Actually, the issue comes from convergence vs. focus. Stereoscopic 3D images aren't actually 3D - it's a 2D image that flickers rapidly between what your left and right eye would see, and the glasses are synced to the image to make sure that each eye only sees the correct image.

Now, when you have a particularly deep stereoscopic image your eyes will adjust their focus to try and focus on the deeper objects. But because the object isn't actually there, it's on a 2D screen that's a fixed distance away, you're asking your eyes to converge on one point, and focus on another. And that's not the way eyes work in real 3D (also known as Stereopsis or depth perception) so you can't compare the two.



You have no ******* clue what either condition is, do you? Myopia and Hyperopia are short and long-sightedness, respectively, and they affect a good portion (not a majority) of the population. Don't just flame when you don't even understand what you're talking about.

Until 3D has motion sensors on your glasses and the view changes depending on how you view it, it's just a 3D perspective from a single position. Apart from a feeling of depth, it brings nothing new or exciting.

Dev's...... Are we going to be seeing 3D vision implemented into the November release ???

@Rheya: He already answered that question:

ETA = Estimated time available

no ETA = he can't tell now, when exactly it will be available

and round about 6 weeks are not much time for all those things requested.

ETA stands for 'Estimate Time of Arrival' btw...

Also, it's plently of time imo

What is funny is that films have realized that 3D can actually make a film worse. 2D films used to make obejects out of focus to give a sense of depth and emphasise the primary action area, which would still be in focus. If you go 3D, everything is in focus, so you lose the emphasis on the bit you are meant to be concentrating on.
