Etch-a-Sketch in 3D?

I can remember spending hours as a kid on the original etch-a-sketch. I think I would still play with one of these babies:

Sketch-3D is a system that allows you to draw in three dimensions using three dials and “3D glasses. Kind of like the old Etch-a-Sketch, but way cooler.

“Sketch-3D is an interactive, integrated software/hardware system that enables users to create their own anaglyphic 3D drawings. By using a ubiquitous interface metaphor (the “Etch-A-Sketch “), Sketch-3D allows anyone to participate in generating stereoscopic imagery in a way that is simple and engaging. In addition to the personal experience, Sketch-3D can be scaled to work with any output device from large scale projection to plasma displays to an integrated LCD. This versatility allows for Sketch-3D to be tailored to fit a wide array of installation environments.”

Of course I could only ever draw straight lines with my Etch a Sketch. George Vlosich shows how its done:
