I saw these things in several magazines, and even tried them out at a
dealer in my home town. However, as I suspected, the 3D effect produced is
only good for people who have two equally strong eyes. Put another way:
My left eye is stronger than my right, and although I use my right eye to
some extent peripherally, I use mainly my left for normal reading and direct
vision. So, when I try a 3D gimic, all I see is some weird effect, be it
flickering screens (Haitex 3D), ugly blue and red pictures (blue/red glasses),
or some other non-3D image. I'm still waiting for a 2D faker that will let
me see '3D'. Comments, anyone? (open discussion for anyone interested,
sorry if this should be in comp.sys.graphics
or another comp.sys group)
