The old Victorian stereoscopes for viewing two images are quite common at antique shops. I've seen several for sale this summer, and I don't frequent such shops. ;-)
Also, no one has mentioned animated GIFs. In theory, one could take two images and toggle them at a fast frame rate to give an illusion of 3D. My wife toggled (on the keyboard) some portraits of me we were fiddling with--it was quite entertaining to see! This faux 3D technique seems to work well only when the two images are almost the same, but a tad different, such as portraits taken in quick succession.
Now, would one of you kind folks *please* go make me a holographic computer screen?
