That depends. Wearing 3D glasses always gives me a headache after a few
minutes and I wear glasses (four-eyes!) anyway... so how would I wear 3D
glasses and still be able to see (clearly) what I am doing? (six-eyes?!)

cool, but it's still just a passing phase.
Not until we develop some form of telepathy, no.
Speech is the major form of information exchange between humans, and
until the time we go to the machines, the machines will be coming to
us. They will be improved until they can understand us, or they'll be
replaced with something that can.
By the same token, most humans have 2 eyes and can see in 3D,
therefore, displays will be improved until they can fully exploit the
human visual system.
3D isn't that hard. I played /Mafia II/ and /Starcraft II/ in 3D at
Eurogamer Expo yesterday. It works well and is really quite
impressive. It really did add to the gameplay experience.
