Good that you connected it with crypto boom. But problem is it's hard to rewind these kind of trends once started. Human nature.


NFTs are dying and link rotting. ICOs are out of fashion.

VR is back in its niche.

3DTV .. I've not seen that marketed for quite a while now. Things that are fads will die out eventually.

Crypto meanwhile is in an odd space: everyone knows blockchains are too much of a hassle and that the volatility is too high, so they're using centralized exchanges and "stablecoins" (shadow dollars). There's still a huge amount of money there but not quite as much as the stadium ads / FTX peak.


I wish you could still buy 3D TVs. Why? We used them to build a truck simulator which had a driver and passenger. The view out the window is different for each person. They were perfect for that, but it's too small a niche to keep making new TVs.


Have you considered DIY-ing it with a normal TV/monitor and a lenticular lens?

Its probably coming back in a few years via lightfield displays, though for some reason Google seems to think the killer app for those is videoconferencing.
