"will this draw viewers away to other video sites?"
You mean if other sites provide the same content for free, will I stay on youtube just because it is... pretty?
On contrary, if every second movie I click on leads me to a "not available in your country" text, I will eventually get bored and go to other site even if youtube provides the same content for free.
You should try a website called 3d6.org (clever name). I have tried the images there with sharp AL3DU stereoscopic laptop. They look quite nice.
Even better - upload the video backwards.
Someone should make backward youtube plugin for firefox. It even might autodetect backward songs and play them properly.

Just think of the embarrassment to be caught wanking with wearing some weird glasses connected to your computer.
Simply turn on the 3D effect, put on a pair of stylish shades with mismatched lenses, and BAMMO! Instant 3D.
...and BAMMO!, loose half the resolution in each eye.
The human vision has the ability fuse a single image out of different retinal projections in each eye. (Foundations of Cyclopean Vision, Blea Julez, 1971) You don't really see double images behind your point of attention (point of focus != point of attention).
Instead of using "jumping cross-hair" to aim at enemies, do what Chuck Norris would do. Close one eye.
No. The ability to focus at different distances (accommodation depth cue) works only for short distances... maybe max 1 meter (3 feet) if you have 20/20 vision.
Indeed, there is the problem you are referring to. It is called convergence-accommodation rivalry and is caused by the following - your vision uses feedback, and if your eyes converge to certain point the lens of the eye automatically gets focused on that distance. So if the disparity in the eyes suggests an object is being 20cm in front of your nose, your eye lens will auto-focus to that distance. As the object is really projected on the display (1 meter away) it will look out of focus.
This problem can be solved by making the display extra bright. Your pupil contracts, the depth-of-field enlarges, and scene is all in focus regardless of the perceived disparity.
Furthermore, this rivalry will affect only objects that attempt to come "out of the screen". The "depth information stored in the directX buffer" rarely has objects in front of the screen, most of the game scenery will exist at different depths INSIDE of the display. No c-a rivalry there.

Very, very good game.
