My attempt to construct a timeline of important events S-3D. Just draft for now.

....in 1989 he started 3DTV Corp and made the front page of the wall street journal by introducing the first home 3DTV system with LCD shutter glasses ....

I also found this document (may be interesting and I like the vidéo):

It could only be viewed by one person at a time on a modified stereoscope, as a proper screening-process to divide the left and right pictures for viewing had not been invented.

The simplest method of making a 3D image is by doing it yourself. Take two static images put them side by side and either look at them enough into the distance until they merge into one or go cross-eyed in front of them until you get the same effect. This idea was popularised more recently with the craze of Magic Eye images in the early 90s. Of course, it's not very practical with motion pictures unless you want a blinding headache and some serious eye damage but there are other autostereoscopic methods that the industry has come up with.

But when first commercial LCD shutter glasses was available?

In the sixteenth century, B. G. Della Porta and J. Chimenti's drawings are composed of a series of print with the same subject, made from different angles. There is no evidence that these drawings were made with the intent of making relief, but their vision could be viewed in 3D

In the sixteenth century, B. G. Della Porta and J. Chimenti rendered already 3D drawings using successive drawings of the same subject from slightly different angles.

Nvidia still haven't released any PROPER stereodrivers for their newer cards.

Actually Kinddragon is a piece of history too since he made 8800gtx going 3d (openstereo) for the very first time.
I remember playing tombraider (legend or anniversary), flat out and hl2 with that. Nvidia still haven't released any PROPER stereodrivers for their newer cards.
