Yeah, he's been talking about Command Credit for a while, saying he would be getting a contract with them.
Last night he introduced Sillawood (SLWC ??, 800-248-9392) for the first time. They're supposed to have a 3D viewing system based on glasses you wear. Each lens is controlled electronically to alternate left-right eye view. This will not be appealing for home use (a wire attached to your glasses ?? !!). May be OK for specialty applications.
Big companies worked on this scheme many years ago (e.g. Philips, et al) and discarded the idea in favor of a better scheme where each eye is viewing through cross polarized filters. The images are also polarized, so the right eye only sees the right image, and the left, the left. Then, you project two images, one with each polarization for the proper eye. No wires, just passive glasses. Works great. But it takes two projectors instead of one, so they never commercialized that either (too expensive).
I don't hold much hope for Sillawood, except maybe for some speculators buying something they know nothing about -- and driving the price up momentarily. Not good shopping here ...
