That looks very iffy, and also the fact that the website is well crappy kinda makes me think it's a scam. BUt who knows for all we know they could just be broke :)

This type of stereo uses a lenticular screen over the LCD display and uses vertical interlace. It won't work unless the LPI of the screen overlay matches the dot pitch of the display, hence the need to know your exact dot pitch. Printed images use the same technique. I fancied having a go at this type of stereo myself, as they can use maybe 10 or more views to create the stereo effect, instead of the normal 2 (which means you need 10 cameras!); but it's very expensive, and only possibly worthwhile as a commercial venture. As for their offer being worth what they say it is, I'd have to see the displays myself to decide. One thing is certain, if your LCD can produce the refresh rates needed, then 3d glasses are far more cost effective.

The lenticular screen is just a grid that blocks the light so each eye can only see half of the available vertical pixels, the other eye can see the other half.
It is interesting, but it has been shown that this kind of display causes fatigue because you need to be in a precise location.
I don't like shutter glasses, I am working on a Planar mirror setup that should be affordable (AKA less than that thing). I am going to put up a topic on it right now.
Edit, it appears to use the " Vertical Interleaved (SeeReal) " option in the nVidia drivers, so at the very least it might be useable.
I suggest that if you want to play around with it that you hunt up some lenticular screen samples and see what it looks like through them, it could only be cheaper than their kit, which seems to have a bunch of useless crap in it, I mean the stereo drivers are free and all we really need them for is a lenticular screen, which would be better sourced from an outside source. Although some shopping for best price would be necessary.

I did some research and i actually printed a parallax barrier to achieve a similar affect. Using 600 dpi it is far too dark and to prevent color mooring patterns one needs to orient ones monitor in a vertical way. I think getting a precisely crafted lenticular screen would be very difficult as the size of lentiular ridges depends on the interpupular distance and the exact dot pitch. If one wanted a custom ordered lenticular screen it would be far to expensive to order. I guess most people have 63.5 mm inter pupular distance so a screen designed for that would work best. If anyone finds anything please post here as I was following a similar thread afew years ago...
