That is interesting stuff.

Looks like no glasses. And special monitors required. Still, I'm interested. But I'd have to see one in action before parting with money.

So is this kind of stuff not expected to need a special player too, just a TV with certain specs/features?

I can see Sony throwing a fit or causing a permanent divide in this 3d stuff is the PS3 isn't able to do it, they've already said PS3s will be able to play 3D Blu-Ray by mid 2010. Guessing they figure that's how they'll pump up their TV business.... convince people they need new ones for 3D.
