Poor Man's Stereoscopic Projection
Jed Link writes: "This summer I helped built a Geowall
stereoscopic projection (3D) system for the
Southern California Earthquake Center. Although there are no new
concepts involved with this system, what is new is that the system cost a
little over $10K and is comprised of materials that you can buy at any
computer-hardware store. A complete description of the system, as well as
a diary of its assembly is available here. Traditional stereoscopic projection systems like
The Cave which is
used primarily for new product modeling and on a few university campuses cost
anywhere from $150K to $1.5M. They are built into a fixed location, often
requiring significant architectural modifications, so transportability isn't
even an option. The Geowall, on the other hand, can be fixed to a cart
(like we've done) and rolled from room to room. The price-tag makes the
system feasible for undergraduate post-secondary education classrooms and even
high schools. The system is based on a very simple concept, and while its use is currently
primarily educational, I think it's only a matter of time before we see
something like this in the gaming or entertainment industries."

You may not be aware of this, but there have been 3D porn movies for some time.
:-D
Anyone know if any (many?) of the major computer video formats (AVI, QuickTime, MPG, etc.) have specific support for 3-D?
