Also, a number of people have problems watching 3-D due to various eye conditions from stigmatism,
wandering eye ('strabismus' like Jack Nicholson and Barbra Streisand) to being near sighted. The early
goggles used in 3-D IMAX were terrible for young children. I took my neices to them and the goggles
kept slipping on their small noses. So the 3-D polarizing or shutter glasses will always be a problem
for some people the way the rainbow effect is a distraction for some people watching DLPs. Fortunately,
I don't have any of these problems but I have some family members that do. I don't know what percentage of the US population has problems with 3-D imagery but it's probably more than a few.

In any event, people aren't going to rush to see 3-D movies for the long run any more than they did in the early cycles in the fifties, seventies and eighties. It's a great gimmick for some but it's only popular for a limited amount of time then fizzles out until the next generation discovers it.
