“3-D is a waste of a perfectly good dimension. Hollywood’s current crazy stampede toward it is suicidal.” – Roger Ebert

Apparently there are people watching the World Cup in 3D on their couches right now. Well, now it looks like the iPad is the next device to feature this newest craze.

It’s all been kicked off with Flight Control HD. Flight Control has been a hugely successful game on the iPhone and recently was released for the iPad with a graphical upgrade including, “a new 3D view that will allow you to see aircraft floating above the iPad with the aid of 3D glasses.” Of course glasses don’t come with the game but if you pick up a pair of the classic red and cyan 3D glasses it will allow you to see your aircraft flying out above the iPad.

But what if the iPad itself was 3D? One writer at Hubpages feels certain that 3D is the future of the iPad. The article guesses that Apple is using some of it’s 3D patents to work on an iPad with 3D technology similar to that of the Nintendo 3DS. The 3DS gaming device allows for 3D viewing without the annoying glasses. Pretty cool.

I often feeling like I’m the lone skeptic on the 3D craze that’s sweeping the nation. There’s been only a couple of 3D movies I’ve seen in the past two years where the 3D effects added something to the movie for me. Mostly I just wish I’d seen the movie in 2D. I have zero interest in buying a 3D TV for my living room or a 3D gaming device. And a 3D iPad seems like a novelty that would wear thin after the first day or two.

But what do you think? Will Flight Control HD be the first of many 3D games for the iPad? Are you excited about wearing 3D glasses to play games on your iPad? Would you be excited if the iPad itself was 3D? Do you think Steve Jobs is hard at work designing a 3D iPad?
