P3D Re: miniaturization & cross-viewing

Stereo projection as it is usually practiced requires:

-an expensive, large, heavy projector with polarizers
-glasses
-a silver screen
-a very dark room, because the images are not very bright

Correct?

My idea is very different. While it has advantages over
the conventional method, it certainly has disadvantages
as well. At present I really don't think I will do it,
but it sounds like fun!  :-)

As for which is easier, parallel or cross-eyed, I find
cross-eyed easier. As to what most people can do more
easily, I don't know. That's why I asked. I have heard
it said that if the picture is beyond a certain size,
cross-eyed is required. It would be possible, but difficult
on paper (you would need an extra print of one side of each
picture to be pasted up for the printer) to put three images
side by side, for either parallel or cross-eyed, as has been
done on some Web sites. It would also take up 50% _more_ space
in the yearbook!  :-)
