The Elsa video card I had went as far as including a pair of shutter glasses to show off the 3D graphics it could process. It was a fun gimmick for a short period of time but it turned out most "3d" games were meant to be viewed in 2d so sometimes you'd end up with weird scenes where most of the objects had depth but there would be floating bitmaps here and there. That worked fine for a 2d projection but was laughable for 3d. Also, everything ended up looking like a bunch of miniatures in a diorama because CRT screens were nowhere near large enough to fill one's field of view, plus being boxy, just reinforced the middle school diorama feel. Still, fun for a couple of days.
