Summary: 

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Stereo TV implemented using polarizing glasses will
require higher resolution than currently employed
in order that the 3-D image has the same resolution as a
conventional television. 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.
