#2 Because you need the physical goggles, it's not instant (the orgasm that the surfer is paying for, that is)... so unless it gets big to the point where a LOT Of surfers already have the goggles, it may be a harder sell.
but, hopefully the uniqueness of this idea would make up for (in conversions) what you would lose because of those drawbacks. I can imagine an entire network of sites all in the 3d, so people who already have the goggles can pick and choose what kind of content they want to get just like signing up for a normal paysite. Now that would be SLICK

I definitely appreciate the enthusiasm, and these are all things to consider. Yes, the glasses aren't pennies, unfortunately, but there are positive sides to the glasses. They are compatible with a lot of different items, as you can see from the site. Meaning, someone can implement 3D technology on their website by offering a "Premium" membership which would cover the cost of the glasses, and then upsell the members with other products, like 3D movies that are converted in real-time on a computer or home tv, or the Virtual FX, which converts live tv/video games/DVD's/VHS movies on a television. Plus, we have some other ideas in the pipeline that all revolve around the glasses. So, yes, webmasters do have to spend a bit more money up front, but our research has shown that members will retain their membership longer because of the limited number of 3D websites, and they will be able to implement and upsell customers on other 3D products. There is plenty of room for margins. And, another thing that we don't mention on the site is- you know those pesky little things called chargebacks that tend to kill websites? Well, you are giving the customer a tangible product, so with you giving the glasses to the customer, you are limiting your exposure significantly to chargebacks from customers. Just a little aside.
