oh poor disbelievers..... there here already.
the coolest one is a single spinning mirror.

They already exist, but only as prototypes, as broadcasters, or the government, would have to establish a standard.
One of the most interesting is a rotating white "fan blade". Projectors around the device (I believe there are 6) shine light of the appropriate color at the appropriate point on the rotating shape. The result is a 3-D image that can be viewed from all angles! A TV that people would literally sit *around*!
Considering how long it took the US to decide on an HDTV format (over 10 years after initial proposals to the government), I suspect that Japan or Britain will actually produce this technology years ahead of us (just like HDTV).

okay they have created bose-einstein condensates, they still don't have true 3-d displays. the data density is a problem, also tft's are not 100% transparent so stacking them isn't an option. however, oled's are much more transparent so stacking them might be an option but that would be SO expensive. the first true holographic displays will probably have an array of electron beams which will collide with some other type of particle to produce photons. the plus side of that system is that it would be equally visible from all angles. That won't be for quite some time though.

Probably never. And it is not even a technical problem but an artistic one. All the scenes in your favorite movies look so cool because the cinematographer and the director have an artistic vision what the scene needs to look like. The same scene, if seen from a different camera location would look awful or just wouldn't make sense. By giving you "real" 3d, the people who make movies would essentially lose one of their most important creative tools. I don't see how that is going to make things better.

A home version of IMAX is in the works but its expected retail price rivals that of a small car. I don't think the technology is the problem more or less the content as well as data density.

When they develop something called Bose-Einstein condensates, they should be there. I'm sure Sansui will
have super hi def and those rib-things on the screen before then

Probably never, or until full colour holograms are invented.
