[comp.sys.amiga] real 3d

Boy, did I screw up my address on the previous posting.
should be:

I had an opportunity to see this while under development (and was
restricted from saying anything about it, until patented). I was
underwhelmed. As the original poster said, the 3D effect is generated
by flipping between two seperate view angles of the same scene. While
this does help in visualizing complex 3D data on a 2D screen, it was
very poor (for me) for animation. Others may feel the opposite, since
the "jitter" will be less noticable when the scene is changing. The
point here is that there is even more subjectivity in this form of
3D than in stereo glasses or other "true" forms (holograms, vibrating
mirrors, etc).
