wow, sucky 3d effect, sucky music, and boring video subject matter ... oh, and judging by the comments on youtube, lying about it being novel too. I've always hated the stupid expression 'epic fail' but I'm sorely tempted to use it for this video

Oops, should have checked my facts firt, those 'other' videos mentioned just use a shaky effect, they dont try to recreate a 3d experience (although this one only 'tries to' rather than succeeds)
After watching a few times I noticed a few parts of the video ALMOST portrayed a sense of three dimensions similar to the 3DTVs they have on display at BestBuy... after of course a series of eye aches, migraines, compulsive vomiting, a half a bottle of Peptol, a nap, more migraines, and some earplugs.
Close... But the frames were slow enough that I didn't get a complete sense of 3D. The one thing it did succeed in doing is making someone who has never been motion-sick before nauseous!
You can interpolate a 2d image that when viewed with a focus point either in front of or behind the actual image, an actual 3d picture emerges. This is the concept behind the magic eye pictures that were a fad fifteen years ago. That concept could work for moving 3d pictures. I'm not sure if you would have to use a random dot type system or if you could somehow use real video frames. Also, stereoscopic pictures can be viewed in 3d without the viewer using the same method to view the magic eye photos.
I'm not sure if those techniques would take off or not because it would require training the eye to do something unnatural, but that is a way to get 3d images on current technology without any extra equipment.
