     I have edited it for the one item of interest.

     A glimpse of the near future

     LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- Many of the developers of tomorrow's 
     hottest gadgets descended on this desert city to showcase their
     latest offerings at the annual Consumer Electronics Show.
     
     Infinity Multimedia introduced a 3-D television which gives viewers 
     the depth and doesn't require any special goggles. The new concept was 
     made possible thanks to a new development called a time multiplexing 
     parallax system. Infinity plans to begin introducing the system in 
     about a year.
     
     "The first phase will be bringing it to the arcade, or location-based 
     entertainment centers, as a video game unit. And after that, we'll go
     to the home market," said Infinity's Brian Ton.

     OK - so what the heck is a "time multiplexing parallax system?"
     That's a bunch of $5 words that just rolls off your tongue, eh?  These 
     advertising guys are a hoot. I guess this just won out over "temporal 
     phase-shift coax symmetric-axis ocular vivisection."
     
     I think I saw something like this recently in Popular Science, but I 
     don't know if it is the same company.  
     
     Has anyone seen this actual set?  Is it any good?
     What will it co$t?
