I don't think this writer has a very good grasp of what he's writing about.
3D TV isn't about to "hit the market early next year"! The system he's
describing (badly) is highly experimental, capable only of producing a
minute little image in a minute little cube. It has no practical commercial
value whatever. It may lead to something commercial years down the line,
but even $80,000 won't bring it into our living rooms anytime soon!
