  I wonder how long people can comfortably stay in the right
area.
  If there is a very sharp cutoff between left and right
viewing
  areas, then the most you could move your head to one side
or
  the other would be 1/2 the distance between your eyes.  I
like
  the idea of getting away from headgear.  The hologram is
just
  a compact way of making a large lens, of course; you could
do
  this part of the job other ways.

  Don't let the Hologram fool you, it is a version of ideas
that have come
  before us. The patent literature lists dozens of these
types of devices,
  same ideas used 30 years or more ago. It is nice that
people are thinking
  and manufacturing Stereoscopic devices, though.

I can answer this question perfectly, because I think I am
the  inventor of the principle.

to see my french patent, started in 1989.

Of course, as RM says there are dozens of *this* type of
devices, but let me clarify that no one  can be considered
equal to another, if the patent is right, and which are the
differences.  I  discovered the possibility of projecting
*white light* images on a diffractive screen, usually named
"holographic screen", in 1987.  This is the same device
Gabor (the first inventor of holography) already patented
but using monochromatic light, and others made similar
patents but specific  for  computer or TV images.  I studied
during many days at the New York public library this
patents, and at the Paris patent office, in 1989, and
confirmed that no one applied this to white light.  It
happens that the  dispersion of wavelengths separates the
color composition, but it can be very reduced if the screen
is constructed appropiately, as specified in the patent.

The specific way to apply it to television is described in
