Jo--

California Science Center in L.A. has a small version of this, as an outgrowth
of their membership program.  Go to:

http://www.casciencectr.org
then click to enter
then scroll to the bottom of the page, right above the email contact and
click on "Membership"
then scroll to the bottom of that page and
click on "Intro" then
scroll to the bottom and click on
"Click here for Special Members 3D Picture"

It's a little hidden, but it's the only example of which I'm aware.  This web
3-D usage mirrors what's in the CSC's member newsletter, which each quarter
prints a different 3-D picture.

When you join the institution, you get the handy 3-D glasses which allow you to
see the image in the newsletter or on the web.  For more info you might call
Wes Hall, associate director for development, at 213/744-2035.
