I'm thinking it's two-aperture 3D that is a little leakey.  8-)  Let me
rephrase my question: Won't all black objects be at the exact same depth 
in the Q-dos system?  Sure, they will be occluded by and will occlude 
colored objects of known depth but it seems like all black objects will 
have zero parallax (left and right images will be the same image in both 
eyes and will have been generated by the entire aperture of the taking 
lens).
