Yes it works great and there is alot of potential 3-D on television or
video. BTW, if you don't have a Snappy or 3-D camera that is no excuse
for not taking 3-D pictures! :-) Another source of 3-D pictures are digital
video files either from CD-Rom or downloaded from the internet.
Surprisingly often times there are sequences where grabbing two frames
yields pretty good 3-D! What I do is open for example two AVI players
side by side and advance one player frame by frame.
