I actually misunderstood Shtopor as I was talking about 3d displays.(TV, tablet etc.)
Check out Cbit news for more info on that.
That Holodeck is going to be pretty damn crowded if and when it finally becomes real. So many people waiting for that.

As for the TV, tablet type 3D displays, I think most people agree they have to be glasses free or they're not going anywhere. The glasses free ones that have been shown so far aren't that impressive either apparently. Partly because, as Shtopor mentioned, you have to have your image over a certain size before you overcome the 'looking into a fish-tank' effect, which is, to put it another way, like watching a moving diorama, a box with little models in it depicting some scene. You'd either have to be projecting a big image, or be using some kind of VR goggle type arrangement to get over that, and to make 3D worthwhile, in my opinion.
