*****  For LCS viewing on a computer, you can't beat page flipping stereo.
You may need to upgrade your hardware for optimum performance though.
Interlacing works well but leaves out 50% of the image (every other line).
With software available from NuVision, you can run page flipping stereo on
most good Win95 computers. That means that if you have a reasonably good
video card and a good monitor you can upgrade an interlaced viewing system
to operate in page flipping mode. If you have the right hardware already the
upgrade is free.

As to stereo video on computers, we're still waiting for a reasonably good
system to show up. I believe compression of the signal is the primary problem.
