And I hated the small glasses that I was given to see that. They didn't fit properly over my regular glasses, creating an obnoxious glare that gave me headache. And 3-D won't make me go to the Landmark here in L.A. again. I went for the first time recently and it was a miserable experience. 3-D doesn’t make a movie better, no matter what people thought of Beowulf.

The Lincoln Museum in Springfield IL has a glasses-less 3D film. It's pretty sweet. It's all smoke and mirrors though (actually smoke and glass) interacting with real people. Otherwise, we're talking Start Trek holodeck type stuff. I would think you’d need a different multi-screen set-up or something in the air (like smoke) to pick up the projections.

They are designed for a person with 20/20 vision in BOTH eyes. Unfortunately for people like me who have a drastic difference in eyesight between the two eyes (I have an astigmatism in the left but not the right) 3D glasses don't work all that great because you need both eyes to perceive the depth perception that the glasses force on your eyes. Those glasses end up making me focus 3D with one and a half eyes, which makes quite a strain. Mind you, I got used to after maybe half an hour; it was the initial 'force focusing' that my eyes had to get used to. Also, I am aware that I should wear the glasses that I never wear.

I didn't even know a technology like this was in the works. I don’t think I’ve ever considered going to see a 3D movie, one of the reasons being those dumb glasses.
