3D vision seems to come and go

I have a feeling that 3D TV will come back better than before. As 3D TV is no longer on the market I consider it a failed attempt that needs to be improved upon.

There is a VR viewer for my Smartphone but as there is very little demand for this device most shops don't have it in stock. So at the moment there is no real demand for 3D at least not in New Zealand.

I came across a YouTube video where you can make a cardboard 3D device but it was for a smartphone mounted in front of it.

There maybe a lot of 3D devices in your country but not in New Zealand where it's a matter of making your own 3D device to view 3D photos.

Wherever you are think stereo taking or viewing can be iffy/and or expensive at this point I live on an island too, Oahu far from LA where there is lots of action stereo wise. I Been experimenting with home made digital 3-D devices. I have a Fuji W 3 and several film cameras, I like the project idea of pairing two planar digital cameras. experimental pair I am , One can find old or discontinued models relatively cheap and it is up to you to build a cage to hold them in the right alignment. Options abound, from simple wood to what have you.... As you say, viewing is a matter that is trickier and yet some folks manage it. I have seen plans on the ISU and the National Stereo Association pubs that have ideas. (There may even be a Kiwi group) that meets down there. Folks who do astronomy find the same limitations...meaning big bucks or garage puttering. PS This forum has some ideas, but only the beginning of any research. But you all know that..( PPS Still working on dual remote shutter release with appropriate resistors etc etc.....Dr T has done lots of these. Look him up on eBay and elsewhere, for ideas)
