    I'm looking forward to "3D T.V" where you have the
    actors/scene/etc appear in your Lounge Room.

    3-D TV's never really took off... the BBC even tried a
    "Doctor Who" episode in 3-D a few years ago.

    I didn't think they had even got as close as "never really
    took off"!!

    You could buy a 3-D television, (maybe you still can?) but
    who wants to sit and watch a television programme with
    stupid paper 3D glasses on? Plus the proper 3D content just
    wasn't there. So 3D-TV turned out to just be a gimmick.
    People moved on to 4K UHD Televisions instead.

    It is the glasses that turns everyone off.

    Lack of proper 3D content too...

    I think the glasses matter. I read less since I began to need reading
    glasses. It's not a significant hassle to put them on, but every
    additional step means another decision point where the person might not
    do it.

    So how can TV be 3d?

    It can't. It was just a form of visual effect.

    3D television's created depth perception by showing slightly
    different images to each eye, creating a visual illusion...
    like something coming towards you. But without the special
    glasses, you wouldn't see the actual effect.
