This form of 3D has been around since at least the 1990s, I saw a demo at a big electronics show around then, remember there was a CD console there, don't remember if it was Sony's stand with the PS or Phillips stand with the CDi.
Anyway, they still haven't made much progress on the main problem, it's very angle/position sensitive, people don't want a TV they can't still follow action on if they walk across room to get something, or requires their seating in very specific places. Single user situations are most ideal.
I saw some deployed this morning in fact, local Casino sent me free breakfast coupons, so I went, and there were some 3D screen slot machines. (Yeah, they're mostly all video slots these days.) Which had a fixed slide back and forth seat in front and a depth control like the 3DS.

After the steaming pile of crap that was MIB III cinematography wise, I deliberately avoid fiscally supporting any movies that seem to make 3D the main point, because 2 or 3 jumpscares aside for the 3D version, they are more like woodenly acted stage plays as they try to keep depth in the scene but no fricking lateral movement. So regard 3D as not just a gimmick, but one that's actively ruining movies.
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
