I remember Polaroid 3-D at the 39 or 40 NY World's Fair. It was a travel
movie at the Canadian exhibit, with polarizing glasses. I took the 
glasses home and made a polarizer and analyzer for my microscope. 

My other early exposure to 3-D was a Holmes type viewer in grade
school, but I can't remember which came first.

The World's Fair was also my first exposure to TV; I was not impressed.
