Re: [photo-3d] 3D movies why aren't there more?

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

In my previous post, I mentioned Chris Condon in relation to your 3-D

interlocked dual projectors which also were unlocked for screening single
system 3-D), Chris is the designer and developer of the StereoVision camera
lens system.
