I'll add a few things...(sorry for any repitition, i was only half 
paying attention--using my mono brain...)

Being new to 3d photog, one of the things that drew me in 
is that, yes, for the cost of a 'flat' camera and processing of 
flat pictures, i can buy a stereo camera and have 3d pictures.  
I think that generating enthusiasm about 3d is all well and 
good, but the message MUST be, YOU can do this too...  
Whether they just want to buy a 3D Magic P&S to get 
lenticular prints, or they want to get a Realist and have prints 
pre-mounted for viewing with a cheap print viewer, or they want 
to get an MF camera (that's MEDIUM FORMAT...   ;) ) with 
slide viewers, projectors, and silver screens, they have that 
option, or any in between...  It has to be made clear that they 
have just as wide a range of opportunity to get INVOLVED or not 
so INVOLVED as they do for non-stereo picture-taking.  George 
(I think) rightly pointed out that those people with  a somewhat 
greater appreciation for flat photography (much like I had/have) 
are probably more likely to be on the more involved scale of the 
spectrum.  But people need to know that the cameras, processors, 
equipment, and networks are set up for 3D, and they don't need 
to do anything really special or expensive to get decent 3D 
pictures.  Getting INVOLVED probably scares some people away.

Also, it was pointed out that 10% of the population can't see 
3D.  Well, the other 90% varies in THEIR ability to see 3D.  Sure, 
with practice we probably get better than the majority of that 
90%.  The eyes are trainable (if that's a word).  In fact, my mom 
works in an optometrists' office doing vision therapy and is 
very interested in my 3D creations and may use some with 
some of her patients.  She works mostly with kids in training 
them on how to get their eyes to work as a 'team'.  She uses 
stereoscopes and other stereo equipment to aid her in this.  I 
will find out more and report back.  But the point is, we CAN 
train our eyes and improve our stereo perception.  Imagine a 
world where 3D pictures are the norm, everyone has EXCELLENT 
stereo perception due to all the practice and training they get, 
and many currently existing vision problems are remedied, 
there are fewer car accidents, and who knows what else...

FWIW,

Adam
