    If they want it for 3D marketing, why not put a 60 frame lenticular lens on it? It's not perfect, but in two directions it will look 3D without glasses.

    1.5 Million? LOL
    Looks like that businessman is out of business for a long time...
    With less than 10% of that sum people can do a BETTER version of Michael Jackson with or without color maps.

    But I guess when it comes to famous dead people there really are people out there who would buy crap like that...

    @Bokusatsu_Tenshi: yeah...try 1%...
    scans like this are just the base - they have to be re-topologized to be usable for anything - NO ONE uses the actual scans for final work.
    oh and what kind of data are we talking about 10K points? 100K? 500K?
    1996 tech wasn't really that great for face scans - nothing like what you can get today...
    no one who does 3D professionally will buy this...

    Am I the only one who doesn't care about 3D? It's a horrible, horrible gimmick that seems to resurface every 10-20 years or so, and each time I care less.

    Unless you are a cyclop or have three eyes, you should be able to enjoy 3D movies and ames. And if you think its a gimmick, watch Avatar in Imax 3D and see what movies will be in the future.

    In reply to Avatar: James Cameron's $500 Million Folly, In Three Dimensions
    I don't get the headache thing regarding 3d. I used to use shutter glasses for all my pc gaming and could use them for 8+ hours with no headache problems at all. Also, halfway decent 3d isn't blurry at all. If it looks blurry to you, then your brain is somehow not properly focusing on it and that I can see could cause headaches.

    So I can see that the technology might not be for everyone, but just because 3d is blurry and headache inducing to YOU, does not make it so to other people.

    To me it looks like the second coming. For full disclosure I can also magic eyes without any effort and can also easily do the cross eyed two picture 3d thing easily.

    What I can't do is the red/blue glasses because I am colorblind. THOSE just look blurry to me, but I know that is because of my eyes.

    So don't crap on 3d because is it bad for YOU. I can understand you not wanting it to be the ONLY option. That would suck for you, like me playing a video game that does not have a color blind mode (most of them) #3d

    @Alluvian: It's interesting that red/blue anaglyphs wouldn't work for you because you're colorblind... the filters basically just let one color pass more than another, so I'd have thought that on the red side, red would be light, and blue would be dark, and vice versa on the blue... #3d
