We've debated that topic here, too, of course, but I don't think any
overwhelming consensus was reached.  (That too is nothing new.) :-)

One observation, though.  Even though the viewers of your pictures "went
wild", did *any* of them indicate that they would start taking 3D
pictures?  *That*, I think is the crux of the biscuit.  Most people are
intrigued by the results, but very few (present company excepted) want
to do it themselves.  I don't know why, but then, I'm one of the ones
who *did* want to do it...
