The last time I watched a 3D movie — Gravity, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney — in an IMAX theatre was over a decade ago. It was a memorable experience, during the heyday of theatrical 3D. But just a few years later, the format was basically dead, likely due to a combination of requiring 3D glasses, and poorly executed 3D movies. With the exception of James Cameron, that is. 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water was quite the spectacle, and the third Avatar movie (in 3D, of course) is slated for December.
But 3D is now making a comeback on the small screen. And it all started, strangely enough, with VR headsets like the Apple Vision Pro. Not only can these headsets show 3D content, along with spatial audio, they effectively shut out the world, making for an immersive experience. There’s a decent amount of content, too. And you can also create your own 3D content for the Vision Pro with the iPhone 15 Pro or newer.
It’s not just VR headsets, thou…
