Re: [photo-3d] Who cares if they care?

["John A. Rupkalvis" <stereoscope@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another twist on this concept.  I do not believe that there are any
technological hurdles to be overcome.  The technology exists today to
produce the finest stereoscopic imagery imaginable.

The problem is pure and simple:  economic.

As the old saying goes, given enough time and money almost anything can be
done.  The real question is, do we want to (or can we) pay for it.
