You're mainly correct. Only some small technical remarks
1. In this approach you don't need more than 10 layers - human eye can not define difference between images generated by 10 or 11 LC layers at the current level of pixels size
2. Yes, it is 2,5 but our (people who create 3D devices) main goal is "illusion" 3D, because digital holography is very expencive and slow. The same situation is in sound area.
3. We (3d.neurok.com) use neural network (small "brain") to generate special image for each of two layers. Today, we are mainly in real-time using GeForce3. No additional changing in game coding - all algorithms are realized in DirectX. Hope to sell fisrt mass - user 3D display during next year:-)) You can visit us in INFOCOMM 2001 (Las Vegas) or PC EXPO 2001 (NY) (last two week of June)
Of course, it interesting, but.....
We work with nimbers of this old idea: holography screens, volumetric, parallax barrier, microlenses etc. etc. Results: or very expencive or bad quality or restricted type of images. For example, only transparent images for volumetric type display are possible. Another side is acceptability for existing entertainment industry (no great changing for game coding, 3d chips architecture, monitors production process)
Only new idea to change pure optic scheme to optics + mathematics give us good results (see in http://3d.neurok.com
