3D Polarized Projector Setup Will Have You Seeing Double

"It is in this environment that we have re-embarked on the quest for a wall-sized 3D theater in the home. With commercial adoption on the horizon, it is no longer good enough for a 3D projection system to simply work--it has to be comfortable, functional, and ultimately, desirable enough to use on a regular basis."
Gone are the days of dreaming of setting up your own home theather with a wall sized image from a fancy projector. That is not good enough. Now you need two projectors to get the full theater experience! Fortunately, it can be done, and with the instructions provided by Tom's Hardware, it is not too complicated for the technically inclined. The benefit is the 3D affect can also be applied to games, many games! The worst case scenario is that you can still view things traditionally with only one projector active. I am certain that some enterprising manufacturer will release their own projector that does all the polarization of images in one box, but this seems like a fairly reasonable compromise and if you want to wow your friends, this is the way to do it. Gimmicky or not, 3D is here to stay, and while I will gladly argue whether it actually improves movies, you might as well embrace the future!
