[photo-3d] Re: Pricey "Stereoscopic" Computer Monitor

["Sergio Baldissara" <winter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Quite cheap indeed! a similar display, made in Germany, goes over $20K!
I followed the pointer to http://www.actualdepth.com/products.html, but I
couldn't find out if this system requires (or incorporates) a head tracker,
nor the visual angle allowed if a head tracker isn't used.
Usually similar monitors are strictly single-user devices,  so their
usefulness is questionable.

website, I'm still not sure exactly how compelling the stereo effect is. The
screen is actually 2 LCDs, one in front of the other. They talk mainly of
displaying computer graphics, with no mention of live action video. It
sounds more like 2.5D. Even they refer to it in one section as
"multi-level." Has anybody seen this system in the flesh? At $7K, I don't
think I'll be getting one any time soon, unless they'd be willing to swap
even for my Toshiba SK-3D7 ;)  The article does indicate the level of
interest there is in 3D, even expensive systems, that can be viewed as
easily as 2D displays.
