On the other hand, creating virtual people with 3D Scans and motion capture could be really interesting. Rendered separately and properly into true stereo vision with an Oculus gadget and moving around in 3D space would be pretty interesting, and the technology to do it is improving every day.

Yes, most of the movies viewed on traditional 3D TV's had a nice effect but not a great one.
I think most of the problems 3D media has faced is that it has been created poorly and delivered poorly. If either side of the equation is poor, it's poor as a whole.
4 years ago, I tried a pair of Vuzix 3D stereoscopic glasses and the effect was much more appealing on media I had previously seen on 3D TV's. But the actual screen size (as viewed) was limited. Even though they used terms like... it's like viewing a 8 ft screen from 30ft (for instance) it was not something you could relate to for actual size before you bought one. If you did not know someone who had one, you could not try before you buy.
But watching the same movies even on the original Oculus DEV KIT (DK1) when the resolution was so poor that it was like looking through a screen door because you could see the spaces between the pixels, the effect was so much better and very much more comfortable.
The DEV Kit-2 eliminated that screen door effect and made the experience more like being in a imax theater. In some ways better.
What really caught my renewed attention for 3D was home movies from the original GoPro Hero with a 3D Kit. It was far more appealing than anything I had ever watched in 3D before on the Vuzix. Now, Watching that same footage was unbeatable on the Oculus DK2.
"Great 3D" can be created on the cheap, just nobody is doing it... yet.
It looks much closer to what you would think it should with the pair of Hero's and 3D kit, but not on a 3D TV.
More choices on the delivery device, who makes the media and the devices they use to make the media are all on the upswing and improving and getting cheaper.
They are already doing 3D scans of actors for CGI so that a stunt double is no longer needed. The Game industry is also on it for sports games in NFL and NBA.
I'm not sure how long that will take for the same 3D scan tech you and I could afford.
Could be interesting !
