Does anybody actually like 3D movies and 3D TVs? The cost of buying these new devices are ungodly obscene. Movies also cost extra but are they worth it? The glasses just seem to fog up the color and vibrance of the movie itself not to mention that only about 20% or less of the content is actually "3D" for most movies. The magic just isn't really there. Until the day that we can watch such things without extra peripherals I'm going to keep my money out.
And what about the Nintendo 3DS? Gimmicky? Headache inducing? Probably. The angle that you can see the screen without having to adjust your head is about 1 tiny degree. Why is everybody pushing the need for 3D so much? As of now the content given does not seem to be useful at all but rather just a flashy technique for people to spend money on. However if somebody comes out with a holodeck like experience I definitely will buy it.
Augmented reality applications however are really cool. Especially with phones becoming so powerful and connected to the cloud, data can be (pre)processed and delivered on the fly. Have people heard of the Google Goggles? Image search recognition on the phone immediately. It is some really cool stuff that will definitely light up the tech world if it becomes prevalent. I will hold off on getting a smart phone for now though. Shouldnt be buying too many toys in such a short amount of time :)
