I'm not sure how they did it, but in the Kodak pavillion at EPCOT is a
truly remarkable film.  You wear polarized glasses to see it, though
I don't think it is standard 3D.  When you move your head sideways,
the image moves with you, and it seems to be one foot in front of
your face.  You can see the audience all groping the air in front
of their seats.  I'm not sure, but in the "regular" 3D movies I've
seen, I never noticed that the image "moved with you".
