I assumed it has has 2 screens, the real screen and a very thin layer of 3D glasses type material on top

That actually sounds really logical. Why haven't the TV manufacturers simply placed a second screen (Glasses) over the origional screen to give all viewers the 3D effect without the glasses. May make the TV alittle more expensive but it would save people the cost and embarrasment of wearing and buying additional glasses!

Anybody know why no one does this?

I don't know if it is the same tech, but it already well known... I guess

I remember this as well. I could think of two great applications straight off the bat. 
1) Store displays.

Some one walking past a store while deciding to peek as they move won't be able to miss the picture. You can easily grab their attention.

2) If you can have 4 different inputs, each taking up a 90degree segment bye bye split screen. :P
Set that puppy in the center of the room, everyone gets their own screen, you don't have to worry about someone else looking at what you're doing to find your location or cheat.
