To get three-dimensional images, Web-site operators use the conversion software that allows for in-depth viewing. Consumers who are willing to spend about $99 for the viewing package, which includes LCD electronic viewing glasses, standard installation disks for drivers and video viewers, and a 2-D to 3-D converter plug-in, will be able to see the 3-D images. Consumers who decide not to spend $99 for the package will see the usual flat pictures.

The technology might also be used to bolster E-commerce retail sales. Sony, Honda, Harley Davidson, and Faberge will use the 3-D images to give customers a more in-depth picture of their products. "This creates a 'wow' effect to the viewer who then may be more likely to purchase the product," says Jonathan McCann, CEO of TDV Technologies. "It completely enhances product images to a real-life viewing experience, so the person feels like he has the product in his hands."
