I tried to ask about this myself in Dec. 96, but it did not reach the
photo 3d list, so I asked Andrew Woods. Here is my question and his
reply. Hope this shines some light on this topic!

Andrew Woods answer:

I saw a system by DMA last time I went to the conference.  The display
generated a virtual image which appeared to stick out from the display.
Unfortunately it was NOT a stereoscopic display.  The virutal image was
only as dimensional as the image generation source.  i.e. if a CRT is
was
flat.  Only time it would be actually a three dimensional virtual image
was if the image came from a small statue (for example) inside the
display 
housing.

Regards,
Andrew Woods.
