@M1American why not call it 3D? Everything else is marketed as 3D. I saw sho inserserts that were 3D. Before that everything was "HD". Like those stupid HD sunglasses. And back in the 80's everything was DIGITAL.

Affordability- the ability to afford

Portability- the ability to port

Stability- the ability to be stable
