I had a very similar experience at Marine World Africa U.S.A.  A
young man of about 12 looked at my camera and exclaimed, "Oh, cool!  A
3D camera!"  I have to assume he, too, read it from the label.  (Or maybe
Jon Golden's been advertising RBT's during Saturday-morning cartoons?)

Hey, that just gave me an idea.

So when is Mattel going to release "3D Barbie"?  She would come equipped
with several pairs of child-sized red/blue glasses and a 3D comic book,
as well as her own Barbie-sized pair, plus a Barbie-sized Realist camera,
"stereo" projector and miniature "silver" screen (which would act as a
holder for one of a series of anaglyphic image cards, for viewing in
stereo with the provided glasses).
