Dolby will integrate Infitec's 3-D technology, designed by Daimler Chrysler for automotive design, with the digital cinema playback system it developed for movie theaters converting to digital projection systems from 35-millimeter film projectors. Digital 3-D systems are one tool Hollywood is using to staunch competition from DVDs, the Internet and video games to bring consumers back to theaters."</i><br /><br />I've never seen a 3-D movie in a theater, and have regarded the concept as being generally a fairly lame one. There seems to be a strong move towards 3-D lately, and the the success of Sony's "Monster House" certainly give credence to the concept of 3-D in mainstream movies. Would you go see a movie in a theatre instead of watch it at home, all things being equal, if you could see it in 3-D?
