I've never been to see a 3D film. Are the colors the same or that separated way?

Nvidia flexes their fat stacks of cash. I'm impressed.

With a lack of proper terms and science, the basic idea is two projectors aim at the same screen with slightly different pictures, and the glasses only allow the image from one projector into each lens. Since you're seeing the same thing at two ever so slightly different angles, it looks 3D. If you take the glasses off, the parts that are 3D look blurry.
And 3D movies kick ass. The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D was so good after seeing it that watching it 2D just isn't the same. Disney's Bolt was also a good use of 3D, and I don't usually see newer Disney movies. And I can't wait for home 3D to take off so that I can finally buy a disc version of Superman Returns with the 3D scenes in it.
The next movie I want to see in 3D would be Pixar's Up. I'll wait for reviews on My Bloody Valentine 3D, but I have no interest in Coraline, 3D or not.

It was a recession two years ago...what we have now is a full blown depression but the world bank keeps spiting out propaganda to deny it.

On another note in Five years they will be giving these things away with midrange computers.

PC gaming already costs thousands of dollars so I don't think people will mind paying a little more for 3d visuals. It is not like PC gamers are worried about cost or they wouldn't be PC gamers.

The idea is that you run a 120herts screen so that each eye sees a 60herts image. The only people who can afford these screens are the mondo rich so nvidia is just pricing the glasses at the point that the customer who can afford those screens can pay.
