Of special interest in the article:
SeeReal Technologies' stunningly detailed 3-D computer monitor. The tiny German company's screen has two built-in cameras that track the viewer's eye movements, which lets the viewer change position and still see the 3-D display in focus, instead of having to stand stock still.

For now, the screens are aimed at such applications as government officials pouring over detailed maps or doctors performing delicate surgery. But the company recently introduced a lower-end version of its product -- without the eye tracking system -- for about $3,600. In perhaps a year, SeeReal hopes to be able to offer a 3-D monitor to consumers such as video game enthusiasts, for about $500.

Imagine, playing Half Life 2, or Vampire Bloodlines in full 3D. That just sounds wicked kickass.
 
That's very cool. All they'd need to do is integrate the SeeReal eye-tracking system. From what I got from that link, you would have to sit in one specific place and not move at all in order for the image to be nice and 3D, because you could only see it when all the images are layered together at the right angle. With the eye tracking system on the SeeReal displays, it corrects that problem by altering the image angle to adjust for your eye/head/body movement and position.
 
That's not what I wanted to say. VFX1 totally bombed despite the cool idea. It was too pricey for performance it delivered, which was also not what the people expected. In other words, I wonder if that thing will be just another expensive toy no one supports like VFX1.
 
Well, sony has some real nice 3d monitors. There are 2 screens, one behind the other, creating the 3d effect. I believe you can still get the effect at an angle.

Yeah, I can see what you mean, but within a year, SeeReal hopes to have that $500 one out on the market. That doesn't seem too pricey at all, considering the costs of flatpanel monitors nowadays.
