Big Weirdo Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 :hysterical: http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/cowboys-stadium-3d-scoreboard-experiment-doesnt-go-so-well-tur/ You know 3D has a long way to go when even Jerry Jones can't manage to sell it for longer than seven minutes: the vaunted real-time 3D scoreboard display experiment at last night's Cowboys game was turned off to loud cheers after just six minutes and fifty seconds of being active. The problem, as usual, was glasses: most of the 80,000 people in attendance didn't bother to put on the headgear required to see the 3D effect, and instead saw a blurry anaglyph image -- which they then booed. What's more, some who wore the glasses complained that the 3D effect caused nausea, although probably not as badly as the Cowboys' 17-20 loss to the Chargers. HDlogix actually has the tech to do glasses-free 3D, but it simply doesn't work when scaled up for the world's largest HD monitor -- a problem they'll have plenty of time to solve when the Cowboys fail to make the playoffs with another couple December losses.

Dan T. Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 What Dallas fan would want to see the Cowboys' epic December collapse in 3-D? Wouldn't 2-D be painful enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 3d just doesn't work with the technology we have now. You have to use those dumb glasses which give you a headache. Maybe in the future we will develop technology to create more effective 3d **** but at the time the glasses won't cut it, and the technology is inadequate for proper three-dimensional viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 As usual, nothing in Dallas works in December. :rotflmao: So just to make sure I have this right, these people are AT the game....and they want to watch it in 3D (like...in real life) on a TV screen (2D surface). I have no words for how little sense this scenario makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 That had to be even more scarier to see them lose in 3D than 2D. It's bad enough they have to see it without the glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissance Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I noted on Sunday how goofy fans with the glasses looked. Seriously, you're AT THE GAME, why watch on a 3D when you can just LOOK ON THE FIELD???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toe Jam Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I love this write up.. http://gizmodo.com/5426164/3+d-broadcast-fails-to-win-over-crowd-at-actual-3+d-game Yesterday, in a stupendous moment of technological flimflammery, the infamously large HDTV that hangs over the field at Cowboys Stadium broadcast stunning 3-D images to the crowd....of the live three-dimensional football game taking place directly below it. Yes, the ad wizards at Jerry Jones Heavy Manufacturing Concern, LLC, decided that their eleventy-billion dollar show palace, $14 hamburgers, live sex shows (NSFW), cheerleaders, and "Party Passes" (oh, and an NFL game) would not be enough to entertain the 80,000 people who bothered to show up for the 'Boys latest December nightmare. So at the start of the second half against the Chargers, they turned the 160' by 90' superstructure over midfield into a 3-D movie theater so that fans in attendance could experience the wonder of football with length, width and depth! It's like you're actually there! Now stop and think about this for a second, since no one who works for the organization apparently did. In order to see 3-D images on a television, you need to wear special glasses—glasses that impair your vision of the real, physical world around you. This means that the Cowboys were literally asking fans to ignore the actual live football game taking place before their very eyes, so that they could watch it on television instead. For $300 a ticket. Because that would be more "realistic." The effect certainly is mind boggling. Since many fans chose not to put on (or couldn't figure out?) the stupid glasses, the video replay board became a blurry red and blue mess to their eyes. According to reports, the loudest cheer of the day came when they finally shut it off halfway through the third quarter. Of course, the dirty secret of JerryWorld's massive video board is that it so overshadows the playing field that most fans end up staring at it anyway, rather than the flesh-and-blood players on the field in front of them. (Granted, some don't have any choice.) I'm sure that thought will comfort DeMarcus Ware when he wakes up from his coma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Great stuff guys. Dallas fans are just too easy to pick on. They are the equivalent of that kid that got picked on throughout his childhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
