Obviously 3-d has been around a long time. Currently there is a 3-d satellite channel(on C-band only, C-3d INC., AMEX(DDD) which for now, uses ordinary tv and 3-d glasses(over cable too). Be Inc is incorporating C-3d's Strata digital software into its BEOS operating system. NVXE has done production work for C-3d, I believe. NVXE apparently offers 3-d theatre equipment and programs using a proprietary single lens filming technique, possibly in competition with IMAX model, but "3-d" better for cost, and speaks of users moving around inside 3-d shows on computers and tv's coming later/soon(obviously processing power would seem to become an issue). C-3d Inc. is said to be selling home set-top boxes to convert regular programs into 3-d- and has programming using current tech. in motel rooms now. Heck, there is a lot of VR and 3d around, in its infancy. But what gets me is the astounding.com/NVXE soliton wave modems that would purportedly deliver such an abundance of material so quickly. Obviously much would need to be confirmed here, as one poster over there on RB thinks this will jump up and surprise the revenues out of Fiber players GBLX, Lucent, and etc., ..VBG! More power to them, if it's for real. With such modems on each end, NVXE currently says the access speed is demonstrated over a distance of 3 miles, with a nationwide distribution method in the works. Soliton waves: ma.hw.ac.uk By the by, apparently one Jack Robinson, who is behind this soliton bit, seems to have a pretty serious background in display technologies- wish I had his bio right now, it looked decent.
