mmm just what I wished for

Have a look here for some info about 3D holographic films,

http://www.holocinema.com/

I'll be impressed only when they make this type of technology able to actually build real physical objects - like an atomic rearranger that turns garbage into gold. 

It'll just make it even more difficult to find a good seat at the cinema - how will you know what angle you want to see it from? What if your viewing position conceals vital plot points - well, these aren't likely to be plot-heavy films I suppose.

ELSA

I own a pair of elsa glasses which I thought were pretty cool. Unfortunately the ghosting, artifacts, and darkening of the entire scene via the glasses made them more of a cool gimmick. Also, almost all games are setup so the 3D effect is "into" the screen, and not out of the screen. Also, I didn't read anywhere in the article where they discussed visual artifacts, so should I assume there are none? I would wait until someone with prior stereo viewing experience gets their hands on one of these before buying. If this screen eliminates the the problems with shutter glasses, and they really did fix the drivers (and will continue to update them), then I would consider buying.

Possibly a chocolate teapot..

Sure, the hardware may work, but it's useless without software.

XP support is now frozen, Vista drivers only support 32 bit even though the driver is up to date.

I'd be less than confident about ongoing support, given the existing support.

huh?

"We doubt it somehow?" 

Have you tried Stereo3d yourself? 

After playing Half Life 2 Episode 2 in S-3D, I cannot ever play it in 2-D again.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
