> But 3D? You have to put on special glasses which you also have to remember to charge. Oh, and you can't look at other things while you're using them.
Passive 3-D glasses exist, and you can very much look at whatever you want while wearing them.
> There were some passive 3D displays (the Nintendo 3DS and a few early Android phones) but they required the user to stay in exactly the right position, or the illusion was destroyed. So you couldn't easily share the experience with a friend.
I had an HTC EVO 3D, and would kill to get that technology back. If friends and I can only look at stuff in 2-D at the same time, fine, nothing lost over the current status quo. But looking back at your pictures and videos in actual 3-D immerses you in the moment again in a way that's hard to describe.
