I did a search on that term, I see now, I was wrong. The reason I
posted was to give a simple way of making Pulfrich glasses by using
modified sunglasses. This I now learn, will not work with the new
patented (patents==greed) system.
It was not speculation. I have a bunch of 3d images on my website using
the red blue glasses.
Pulfrich has been around for a long time. It is not compatible with the
theater projection systems. So when I hear that a non compatible system
is being promoted it sets the alarm bells off. The number of exiting 3d
formats, generates a lot of confusion.
The promotion on this has been rather bad. Perhaps because I do not
watch TV. I have not seen this discussed much in any of the
mainstream "news" forums, hearing about this only yesterday. Perhaps
that is the intent. To wow an ignorant public with more noise.
3D is a fad that has a 20 or so year cycle to it. A significant portion
of the population (mostly male) can not see it.[*] Ironically, that is
the demographic which they attempt to sell it into.

Sounds like they are using Pulfrich 3D effect glasses again. You can
get the same effect by popping out the glass in one eye of a cheap
pair of sunglasses. The system sort of works. Doctor Who used this
in the charity short "Dimensions in Time" which aired sometime I think
in the 1980s, the last time this fad happened.
Anyway a simple search on Pulfrich shows a number of suppliers of said
glasses. As to getting them online before the mess happens I suspect
it is too late. I still have a pair from 20 years ago or so. They do
make a lot of TV look 3D although the effect gets tiresome after a
while. Dilating one eye and not the other, tends to cause headaches
in most people.
