I have heard about a VERY interesting though likely to fail new method of 
3-d displays.  It basically is like a crt except that a mirror *vibrates*
at 60hz (probably audible) back and forth, producing a "scanned" block
of apparent display space left on the retina.  I would be cheap, but the
moving part aspect will probably kill it.

Any other Cheap <read Practical> ideas [Until Holograms can be dynamically 
   projected]?
