=================

I don't know if it is the same thing, but there is a company in Canada that
is making a product that sound just like that.  The company is called
Wrebit.  The viewer is kind of like a modern version of the Tru-Vue system from
many years ago.  The images look great, but you only get 12 pairs on a
cartridge, and as you can see it is very expensive.  I met with the
president of the company a few months ago when he was in Los Angeles.  The
viewer has a computer chip in it to tell the moter when to stop advancing
the film.  I think it is over kill to make the viewer so high tech.  The
average person is not going to drop that kind of money in my opinion.  But
if you can afford it, and you have to have any thing 3-D then this is a high
quallity system.  Just keep in mind that there is no way to view anything
but the images that they put out, and this early in the game, what you buy
now could end up being the only thing that ever comes out.
