Fellow 3-d fans.

I'm working to prepare a general presentation (survey) on the current
commercial/professional uses and applications of stereoscopic or
multi-view(3d) display technology.  Anyone on the list familiar with
commercial applications, who would like to add information, or add media
types that I have forgotten (or of which I am apparently unaware), please
add to the list:

Stereoscopic or multi-view (3-D) MEDIA currently available:

lenticular prints (no glasses required)
barrier prints (no glasses required)
     moderate cost / trade shows, transit displays, exhibits, postcards, etc.

StereoJet prints (polarized glasses required)
     high cost / trade shows, academic publishing

Chromadepth prints (diffraction glasses required)
anaglyph prints (red/blue glasses required)
     low cost / any printed media

digital autostereoscopic display (no glasses required)
field sequential video display (LCD shutter glasses required)
shuttered video display (polarized glasses required)
Pulfrich video (special glasses required)
stereo video projection (polarized glasses required)
     moderate cost / trade shows, kiosks, entertainment, broadcast

stereo slide projection (several formats, polarized glasses required)
     low cost / presentations

stereo slide viewers (several formats, viewer required)
ViewMaster reels (requires viewer)
     low cost / presentations

holography (many different kinds, no glasses required.)
     moderate to high cost / installations, packaging.


This presentation may take the form of an article (or articles) to be
published in a major national magazine or paper.  This is a long range
project.  I'm inspired by the NYT article on IMAX.  People (advertisers +
publishers) need to know there's more to 3-d than just IMAX.

Thanks for any ideas or elaborations!

Boris
