With this in mind, I played around with 60 Hz this weekend. This time, I
couldn't get flicker. The flicker problem I had when I first started fooling
around with this process must have been due to.., let's say my "primitive"
methodologies.

Ok. Using a hard Fresnel key, I shot several randomly placed chrome chair
legs (chairs attached) against a dark background. No flicker. Lens flare? No
flicker. No streaking. No glasses? Looked perfectly "normal". Glasses on?
Good 3-D. Not an ambiguous chair leg in the lot.

Most of what I've been doing has been geared for the medical community. All
closed circuit. I've had to display through a variety of equipment, the 3-D
has been great and the 2-D has been.. 2-D. No problems. I don't see where
this couldn't easily translate to an equally successful broadcast.

>I've never seen SL3D photographs...
Stay tuned. I expect to be able to take frame grabs in a few weeks, and I'll
be putting up a web page.
