>From looking at the diagram:

A hybrid lens with common front element and dual rear elements, designed
to cast images on a pair of CCD's.  

Now, my (imaginary) approach to digital SL3D would be to use a fast-
switching LCD aperture that would alternately block the left and right
halves, feeding a single CCD.  A bit weak for fast-moving objects
but maybe cheaper to build.

Theoretically, you could eliminate the glass altogether and use the LCD
aperture as a many-pinhole camera, opening every pixel in turn with the
others blocked.  Take the summed image from all the left-hand pixels 
for one half of a pair, and the one summed from all the right-hand pixels
for the other half.  Want to rotate your 3D pic?  Or vary your hypo/ortho/
hyper?  Just take a different combination of pixels.  

Man, where do I find an investor???
