Look at it this way, 3D is so new that so far only the world cup is being broadcast in 3D so if people do have the capability to watch the 3D broadcasts, they will tune in Nascar in 3D to get use of that "overpriced" set they bought.

Unfortunately I think this is alot of wasted time, effort & money on something that only .0007% of fans- if that many- even have the equipment for 3D, let alone actually are going to watch the 3D. Just for gaffs I tested our rather new TV & computers, and they didn't pass. We certainly aren't going to spend any upgrade money just for this AND, even if we had it, we'd spend that money to goto Daytona instead!!!!<br /><br />This commentary is NOT a knock against WideOpen coverage, which we think is the best NASCAR TV presentation all season.Donna DeBoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794219924983285744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-63080134422288610642010-06-21T23:55:25.930-04:002010-06-21T23:55:25.930-04:00It'll be interesting guess my 'puter doesn...It'll be interesting guess my 'puter doesn't support it.

Oh well!<br /><br />I did like the IMAX movie thought that was cool having it in 3D but not sure how it'll go over in a race. A lot of the "magic" will be lost not having glasses/proper TV to really experience it unless they've magically done something to get the effect on regular TVs. With the IMAX movie you get "some" of it but it's not the same as it was in the theaters.

How many households in the US have a 3DTV or 3D computer monitor? And better yet, how many of these watch NASCAR? Better do the math before you start wasting money on projects that will most likely fail. 3D also doesn't make the race any more interesting.
