Behold Parallel Reality from Misapplied Sciences (my brother is CTO).

Here's a story about the technology from GeekWire, including demos . The catch is that the displays don't just give one person stereo -- you can have tens of thousands of people looking at the same display and each seeing different (even stereo) stuff -- all without glasses, etc.

The tech will be fairly cheap, but is initially targeting larger displays with modest resolution -- think stadium displays -- not small high resolution displays.

I think to get the correct image in each eye, you would have to be at the correct distance from the display. But something like this is the right general approach, and could potentially offer parallax, giving true 3D rather than just two-image stereo.
