Entertainment News Article | Reuters.co.uk - I wonder what this could mean for folks with a bad eye.
Will this new 3-D moving making thing be so big, that in 10 years everything will use it? Having only one functional eye, prevents me from ever finding out what is so great about this.
I suppose it’s selfish, but part of me doesn’t ever want to see this happen. I will probably never be able to experience or enjoy them and they could be so popular (who really knows at this point?) that movies of today could go away (like black and white).
Knowing full well that’s the wrong attitude and that it could be an experience millions could enjoy, I do hope they have some provision for single eye’d folks to be able to enjoy these films.
Have you ever watched a cheesy 3D movie released on TV? or closed one eye while wearing those blue and red glasses from hell?
Well, I’m the exact oposite. I can’t wait. I’m sure they will continue to have the normal versions for those that don’t wanna wear glasses when they watch a film. Plus, you see how there still are so few digital theaters around. Is there even one in GA yet?
I guess the comparison to you would be should we not have jogging trails because there are some people out there with no legs so they can’t enjoy it? Or should everything out there be subtitled because some people can’t hear?
BTW…When are you coming over to play ping-pong?
Hey Red, just makin’ sure you or anyone else gets the point of this post.
Adaptation may be slow, but like color TV and hopefully soon HDTV, it will become mainstream if it’s good.
Only part of me feels that this technology stinks and yea it’s selfish (as noted in the original post). My hope is they let us monocular folks enjoy the things too. I am not sure the percentage of people out there with one functioning eye is, but I bet it’s small enough that no one will think twice about us being able to watch them in theaters.
A proper analogy that addresses my concern is web accessibility. The web is wonderful. How easy it for blind folks to use the web? or people that cannot point and click? It depends on the web site and whether or not it was designed for accessibility issues. We all know that this isn’t thought about as much as it should be.
I need to check into my own site. This theme came with WordPress 1.5 that I installed a few weeks ago, but I have no idea if all the accessibility concerns are addressed in the theme. Even I don’t always think about that first, but I really should.
