It's been dubbed as a televisual revolution, the year when 3D tech bursts out of cinemas and into living rooms. If there was one nation of early adopters you'd have banked on jumping head-first into the 3D fray, it'd be the tech-savvy consumers of Japan, right?
Wrong. It appears that the Land of the Rising Sun still cant see what the third-dimensional fuss is all about.
A survey of 8, 957 Japanese consumers found that nearly 70% of those questioned had "no plans" to purchase a 3D TV. That's not a bad number for a sample pool really, which must send chills down the spines of Samsung and Sony execs.
So what was the reasoning behind the 70 percent's indifference? For 70% of the, er, 70% it came down to not wanting to wear silly 3D glasses, while the remaining 30% were put off by the high asking price of 3D technology. Pretty much the same reasons as everyone else's around the world then!
Still, if 30% of Japanese consumers all went out and bought a 3D TV, that'd be quite the success story. But that's not going to happen anytime soon really, is it?

May be this is due to the side effects of 3D viewing. It has bee well established that 3D viewing has some health hazards associated with it.
nice.Thanks to talking us about this artilce.
But what about the rest of the world? They are adopting this technology without any hesitation. There must be something wrong with the japanese.
I would suggest you to rectify your facts first on 3D technology Mr. colotox because this technology is no response.
Very best fact here so I am really impress.......
May be they are developing some other technology that is even better than 3D technology.
I don't think so that any other technology is better than 3D.
That is socking news for me, but Maybe they will be even better Technology to us, that's why japan not interested in 3d tv.
