I think Nintendo has a better idea of this sort of spectacle-free 3D technology than TV makers do... the person who picks up a handheld system that delivers 3D effects only to one person who is positioned within the right range isn't giving up anything to get this effect, as that's how handheld gaming devices work in the first place.

On the other hand, people don't invest the big bucks in a new state-of-the-art home theater set-up "for personal use", they do it so they can have friends and family over to share in the act of watching or playing.

Basically, I can't see this as a step forward for 3D TV, a step away from its past as a mere gimmick. I think it's going to reinforce its use as a gimmick.
