n late 2005 Steven Spielberg told the press he was involved in patenting a 3-D cinema system that does not need glasses, and which is based on plasma screens. A computer splits each film-frame, and then projects the two split images onto the screen at differing angles, to be picked up by tiny angled ridges on the screen. (Spielberg is co-producer of the film Monster House but the potential process was not used for the current release of Monster House.)

January 30, 2007 SPIE Stereoscopic Displays and Applications Conference - Jason Goodman a CEO of New York City based stereoscopic production company 21st Century 3D announced two new additions to their lineup of three dimensional digital camera systems.

The additions are 3DVX–H and 3D-SSR which is a solid state stereoscopic recorder that directly interfaces with the 3DVX3, 3DVX3.5 or 3DVX–H.

The 5th Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, was released in IMAX theatres in July 2007 with 20 minutes of 3-D images.
