3-D is still a thing. Although the early 3-D movies probably lacked the clarity & definition of modern 3-D movies.

3D film has always been a thing, but always a niche thing. From time to time it's been hyped up when someone invents a new technique, and every single time it's been found lacking: the little extra it brings does not weigh up against the considerable downsides.

Along with my flying car, I'm supposed to have a TV that projects a 3-D image into the center of my living room.
