This appears to read very similarly to www.isee3d.com press releases 
announcing a web-delivery date of Oct. 15, 1999 for similar, and 
'proprietary' streamed 3d video.
(The earlier announcements were also covered in WIRED news...)

Last year while in Canada, I saw the isee3d IN-HOUSE demo of the streamed 
tech., and it appeared a successful demo of 15 fps field-sequential 3D video 
at that time. From the company principals I listened to the newS of upcoming 
Real Media co-production and pay-per-view strategies for web-casting.

I heard about their call for more content and interests in purchasing 
content-developer works for the web.

Unfortunately, the Oct. 15 deadline came and went, and during the interim 
time (to Jan end) it appeared that no one I spoke with had successfully 
viewed the promised product clips (to their satisfaction).

And the isee3d in-house 'video store' got smaller, making me wonder if this 
process was going to see the 'promised land' of big bucks and IPOs.

Then I started losing interest until the proof is delivered via the 
connections stated.

Perhaps we could hear from those who have successfully received streamed 
video at 15 fps in field-sequential form, and to their satisfaction from 
this or any company.

Or perhaps more data on the above announcement could be brought forward.
