Simply switching alternate fields between eyes will produce flicker, as the rate to each eye will be half that normally available. HDTV now under development in Japan will offer the required resolution and (presumeably) frame rate. Tektronix (Beaverton, Ore) makes a liquid crystal shutter which may be suitable for such a project. I am also looking forward to such developments, but bear in mind that TV producers will not spend the money to produce 3-D shows until there is a substantial audience and this will require a standard for the broadcast industry and HDTV manufacturers. -sjk
