I would really want to verify that a rear projection TV wouldn't work with this system. NTSC is NTSC. The frame rate is the frame rate, no? At least that would be my gut feeling. I mean, what's the difference between a front projection TV and a rear one? And if there is some real impediment to the system with a rear projection TV, 3DTV's instruction manual makes no reference to it, in fact, they are very informative about the compatibility with all types of displays. The system can even be enhanced with other electronic hardware so as to split the L & R frames so they could be projected using a dual projection/polaroid system for larger audiences where lots of the LCD glasses would be cost-prohibitive.
As for the Pulfrich effect (I call it the putrid effect), I happen to have run two of these "movies" at a film festival. They were, in a word, gag-me-with-a-dead-rat awful. The depth is so minumal you could get just as much of a feeling of depth as you would by defocusing the background with the subject staying in focus. It's a novel effect, yes, but hardly a 3D "process." It would be useless for real movies. Plus the glasses consist of two different density lenses -- very disconcerting from the get-go -- makes you feel like you are going blind in one eye -- not exactly a crowd-pleaser.
Oh yah...and then there's the little business of the camera movement. The faster the camera moves, the more the 3D depth, as minimal as it is -- so now you have a director who's main concern is to keep the camera zipping around the set. Ever watch a film where the camera NEVER stops moving? That's right....pukesville baby.
