3-D vidconferencing?

The video conference debate is a boring one for me. Without getting into the differences between fidelity and physiological response to human presence, it's important to look at when it's appropriate to use. Let's leave it at: it's the best option sometime.

That best option may get a whole lot better pretty soon. At least the novelty will be improved with a new 3-D television screen that's come out of Philips. If/when this starts being used for vidconferencing, will it just make the experience cooler, or will it have an impact on the effectiveness?

Many people feel that physical expression is the greatest benefit of video over phone or email. Could this technology enhance our ability to perceive expression?
