This is nothing more than a pipe dream, but oh what a cool dream it could be.

As todays TV's grow larger and larger with better picture quality then the previous model, it is really enhancing our gaming styles. I remember growing up with my NES on a 13 inch TV, it was a privilege to be able to hook it up in our living room on our 'big' 26 inch TV. My how the times have changed..

Anyway, the point of this post is the future of gaming. As technology enhances seemingly by day, our gaming habits can continue to get better and more realistic. My wish is for 3-dimensional gaming. Here's my view:

Imagine sitting there at night with your 60 inch plasma playing the latest Call of Duty in 3D (yes wearing those stupid ass glasses). If the game was in 3D it could make you feel like you were actually there. Imagine having a grenade thrown at you then having it explode and having shrapnel literally fly right at your head. It would be heart attack inducing for the out-of-shape gamer, but for the rest of us it would be hell of a lot of fun. Each game could come with it's own set of glasses or Microsoft or some 3rd party could make a pair. Add an extra $10 to the price and make sure you can play both 2D and 3D with the same game.

Here's just a smidgen of research that I actually did. Recently more and more 3D movies have been released in theaters. It's something new and exciting and a great way to bring in a larger audience. In 2004 the Christmas movie Polar Express was released in both regular 2D and at 3D IMAX theaters. It was featured in 3550 2D theaters and in only 62 3D IMAX theaters. Being in just 62 3D theaters, the 3D version of the movie took in 25% of the total profit, thats about 14 times as much per 2D theater for the math whizzes out there.

I've never seen any game company talk about this, if they have then I'm sorry. It's just a thought that's been floating around my head for a while now. What do you guys think? Would you like to see 3D gaming at some point? I sure as hell would.
