Lot of 3D is in the works on TV and Theaters

Later this month ,(Nov 21) NBC will air "Medium"
in a special 2 hour episode in 3D, using the colored filter glasses method (anaglyph). "Chicken
Little" opened in theaters Nov.4 in digital 3D.
7 3D films are in the pipeline from magor studios,
plus the probability of all the "Star Wars" films
being reprocesses for 3D by George Lucas, who did the rework to 3D of "Chichen Little". IBM
is probably on to something with this idea.

Good for front projectors too?

OK, so they demoed with a rear-projection DLP set. Does the thing work equally as well with a front projector? I'm planning for this setup, DLP is fine as the rainbow things don't bother me, and they finally have 1080 resolution DLP devices.

This 3d thing might be neat, if it makes it into any videogames near me, will I be able to have 3d support? Or might there be some dependency on how the image reaches and crosses the screen in rear-projection rigs and this thing won't work with front projections?
