At the moment, 3D technology is more of a hassle than it is a benefit. I’ll fork over an extra five bucks to sit in a dark room and wear awful glasses that have to rest atop my actual glasses, only to be delivered what usually is a sub par 3D experience. Despite my outrage, 3D films are performing well in the box office and the sales of 3D televisions are flying out the stores (I think). Still, I can’t get over wearing dorky glasses that some other dirty movie goer has put on before me or watching a film through these active shutter glasses in the comfort of my own home.
Luckily, Francois Vogel and Jonathan Post may have engineered a way to view 3D without the use of awful 3D glasses. Their solution, which hasn’t been confirmed as real, is to connect yourself to a machine and have the machine give your eyes a seizure of sorts.

Luckily, Francois Vogel and Jonathan Post may have engineered a way to view 3D without the use of awful 3D glasses. Their solution, which hasn't been confirmed as real, is to connect yourself to a machine and have the machine give your eyes a seizure of sorts. It’s sort of how active shutter 3D glasses work in which the glasses open and close at a rapid pace to simulate 3D, only it’s done directly to your eyes. You may end up looking like a spaz having a seizure, but at least you’ll be a spaz who doesn’t have to wear dorky 3D glasses. Success?
Personally, I'll wait until they create an expensive and completely invasive surgery that will more than likely give me brain cancer. It's a small price to pay for true 3D.
