(some people cant bear the ghosting on the Iz3d so maybe you shdnt buy
one without sighting one working-- I took a punt so maybe I am
motivated to find it usable :-) )
the Iz3d is not available in Australia either but I shipped one in
(for about $400 shipping) -- but now they are offering a deep rebate
on shipping. I think they will release a new less ghosting larger
model in a few months. A good percentage of subjects are too
contrasty to work with it well but for certain subjects it is great I
think. The Opengl driver from Iz3d you need for flexibility in 3d
apps is very beta too and costs money.
On my stereo PC desktop I have two monitors now -- a CRT for shutter
glasses and the Iz3d for polarizing glasses. The CRT has very little
ghosting but flicker from the glasses. More 3d detail is visible on
the Iz3d if the ghosting is not too strong.
Yes stereo panoramas are really cool I think and look great on a big
screen projected. In 2004 I did a bunch in Angkor using similar gear
for a 3d theatre in Melbourne Museum where they are wrapped around a
8 screen virtual fishtank arrangement -- so the panorama is kind of
turned inside out -- so you are looking in at it rather than out as
would be the more natural arrangement. But still it works pretty
good. Surround screens are generally not spherical though. Better
would be stereo dome projection off a mirror say. (Big for portable
planetarium concepts at the moment) -- but then you wouldnt get views
below the horizon.
Interactive stereo panoramas on a screen though are good as are HMDs
with tracking.
