***  Take it to a programming and image processing level where it can be
used for layer identification and other sophisticated maneuvers instead of
just L/R separation, and that level of usefulness can be multiplied to
something much higher, maybe even 80% or more using movement in any
direction,... though at this point I don't think it's Pulfrich any more.
It's only motion based parallax generation... for field sequential
presentation. Pulfrich is what happens inside your head with images in
certain other circumstances...
