    Oh yeah? RCA developed a tricolour CRT which (through some screwy design
of the faceplate) achieved compatible 3-D images in NTSC without any glasses
at all. This was in the 70's.  Also, there is currently active research at
University of South Carolina at Columbia in the 3-D area (again, without
glasses.) They have a product which, if you don't watch it on a teeny-weenie
9" RCA (like I did the first time it was aired by local TV WSOC) is very
realistic. Like mindblowing....
    Pseudo-3D displays are also being used in diagnostic radiology for showing
MR images of working living hearts as well as reconstruction from CT series
to determine bone contour in those cases where faces are obliterated in auto
accidents/birth defects. This work is truly outstanding. (Radiology: April 84)
    3-D spreadsheet. Why not ?
