I went to the website, too, and it sounds like a snake oil sales job to me.
What they are claiming in their glib and informationless blurb is
technically impossible at this stage -- that they have a computer program
than can examine images, determine spacial relationships, and generate
stereo pairs "on the fly" at 30 frames per second. Despite the testimony of
the impressed eyewitness, it sounds very much as though they are pulling
the same stunt, or some slight variation of it, as the other theater in New
England (I think it was) where a video image was split and projected
vertically off-set through two polarized projectors.
