One-Eyed Stereo and Visidep?

[P3D <SCHUB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   The recent discussion of one-eyed stereo reminded me of a supposedly
glasses-less 3-D TV system of a few years back called "Visidep", developed,
as I recall, by a couple of professors at U. of South Carolina.
The descriptions of the thing seemed to indicate that all it did was rapidly
alternate the left-eye and right-eye views on the screen; i.e., it was just
like watching a field-sequential display without the shutter glasses!
Since I've watched field-sequential displays without shutter glasses and
never experienced any sense of 3-D, I've thought it couldn't possibly work.
But this business of rocking a lenticular back and forth while looking at it
with one eye sounds like it would be a similar effect, so I'm wondering if some
people DO experience the feeling of stereo in such situations.  Did anyone on
the list ever see "Visidep" demonstrated?  Am I correct in surmising how it
"worked"?  Did it alternate the fields more slowly than typical shutter-glasses
systems?
