I stood in front of a normal-looking plasma screen yesterday, and the image jumped out of the screen.
It looked 3D. But I didn’t have cardboard red/green glasses on.
How come? Too many cups of tea?
Turns out that it was a Philips 3D display ... using WoWvx and multiview lenticular technology! I kid you not.
A photograph doesn’t really do it justice. It was pretty subtle. Not as in your face as the films that are shown in the IMAX, but it gave a depth to the vision.
Doubt I’ll see it in people’s living rooms for at least another five years.

It's pretty similar. There's a lens/filter layer on top of the plasma screen that directs the light in two directions - to two eyes. The trick seems to be that the lenses are matched exactly over the display, and there's a DSP chip to approximate depth in 2D images to pseudo-3Dise them.
But basically a glorified cereal packet with a source image that changes dynamically.
good show old boy. about time too. been waiting my whole darn life for 3d tv to finally arrive.
