One known problem with 3-D displays that is noticed only by non-average people is that the images are created/recorded assuming a particular eye- spacing. While my friends with average eye-spacing are impressed by 3-D movies, I see them out of focus because my eyes are set slightly farther apart than the norm (but not unattactively ;-), causing the left and right images to blend incorrectly. I know of no existing technical fix for this phenomenon, but if, in the case of computer images, the 3-D image is computed dynamically, then the eye-spacing could simply be an adjustable parameter of the algorithm.
