Although the toy is VERY inaccurately described in the original article
(polaroid has nothing to do with it, for instance), it's not entirely
deserving of your more withering sarcasm. At least it "delivers the goods."
Different colors, viewed through Chromadepth glasses, do appear to have
radically different depth properties. I've seen the technique used very
well, and very, VERY badly. But at least the "3D Chalk" is a legitimate toy
making reasonably legitimate use of one type of 3D representation.
