Would that not ultimately have more to do with the video module, currently handled by xv? The way files are edited and GUIs are made (which is the core of the lumiera project) would be agnostic to whatever sort of image type thrown at it, the only accommodation would be for linking stereo video files (if separate files) together in the engine/core and GUI.


On a purely creative note, a a recently graduated film student, 3D is on some shaky ground for taking over filmmaking. The main issue is that 1/4th of the population experieces a negative side effect (dizziness, nausea, headaches etc.) by watching the films. A larger percentage of people don't want to watch 3D films for one reason or another. That means: in order to create financially successful/popular movies, you have to create a movie that "works"/looks good into 2D, and add 3D for a "cool factor"/gimmick to those interested. This means that while more films may add 3D as a feature, the primary format will remain 2D, and the added expense (which is huge) of 3D will be questioned bee studio execs. Whether it will generate enough cash to become standard is yet to be seen an cannot precisely be predicted, but the "format" of film is unlikely to change due to its accessibility issues.
