Those LCD 3D glasses you've been able to get for a while now are just crying out for somebody to take advantage of them properly. Quick! Somebody make something animated using whatever technique they used to take the View-Master pictures, which I'm guessing was little more than two cameras placed slightly apart from each other. 3D Television is meant to be the Next Big Thing now that HDTV is old hat, so maybe we'll see something of that ilk soon...

Actually thinking back, they were actually quite good. If they could have made a film using the same techniques, they would have been the Dreamworks of the era.
