*********  Note that this is an optional method of supplying 3D video as
well. True, the image will be less than half the screen, but it would work
pretty easily. Especially on larger screen TV's. The wide horizontal format
would leave extra space at the top and bottom of the screen that could be
extra space to add decoration, narration or animation. The new HDTV format
makes this option look even better because it's 25% wider.

So all this time and resistance was just because you were *Viewer
Deficient?* I'm glad you've seen some of what the excitement's about!!!
Thank you Alan Lewis. 

Next question, what response do you think the general public may have to
this device? Will they wear this device for a stereo presentation?

Has the side by side format ever been used outside of prints and stereo
cards? What I mean is that I can easily cross view a side by side
projection, and I'm surprised it hasn't been used by others in the past.
Maybe it has. Anyone know?
