Do you still see 3D with one eye closed?

Most people instinctively say "no". But the reality is that there are far more cues for depth than just stereoscopic vision. Someone with one eye still perceives depths by judging relative object sizes, changes in focus and subtle changes in objects when we move relative to the object.

Head tracking will almost certainly play a big part in coming 3D techs (with or without stereoscopic tech). Add to this eye tracking to adjust virtual focus, and you start to get "real" 3D. One day!
