It seems interactive 3D objects are becoming more popular for web use. There's also some history in it, and some info on technologies from Nvidia."

    Imagine if you had a system, where you used two movies, layed one on top of the other. It would look blury of course, but if the viewer were to wear a pair of expensive, high-tech filter glasses (having differently coloured lenses), a stereoscopic 3-D image could be achieved. I bet in 2 years time we could have a working proto-type, and then actually bring it to market within 10 years given the proper funding and agressive marketing.

      Woa, who said anything about color movies? Sure the Technicolor Corporation claims to be making progress with their techniques, but I seriously doubt that anything will come of it.

      No, what I was thinking of is more of an interactive experience, that's what movie goers want, according to the best research. Think lasers. Think fog machines, right there in the theatre!

      What we need is someone to sell this technology. Someone who's bad... and daring. Someone who can dance, and sing, and get the whole family out for a magical evening together!

      Enter... "CAPTAIN E - O" !!!
