If you have a system that requires shuttered glasses, it uses or provides
two images. Shutter glasses are themselves a kind of *artifact of dual lens*
systems, though a good one.  If those two images are derived from a single
lens 3D input system, any good or technically comparable two-lens system as
input can do a better job. Dual lens is not an artifact of anything except
that we have two eyes. It sounds like you are mixing the method of acquiring
an image with the idea of a transmission system. Single lens systems are an
artifact of our ancestor's cyclopeian 2D thought patterns. We can go beyond
that now. An interlaced 3D video signal can be transmitted like any ordinary
video signal, except there is no requirement that the images be acquired
with an SL3D system.

What look is that?
