Problem with glasses-free (lenticular) displays is that if your head is not in the right position, the effect gets messed up. This TV apparently can let about 4 people watch at the same time, but only if they're at just the right positions and angles. Also, you get half the horizontal resolution.
Personally, I don't see the problem with wearing glasses, since most people at least wear sunglasses occasionally anyway, and you generally get better quality. Passive-polarised displays are easier to view, though half the brightness, and need only ordinary sunglasses with differently-polarised lenses. Active-polarised displays give the best results but need bulkier LCD-shutter glasses, though these are getting rapidly smaller.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
