YouTube--or at least one of its engineers--has begun experimenting with 3D video, according to a report in the blog, Search Engine Roundtable. The report is based on a thread in the YouTube Help forum, in which a YouTube engineer who goes by the moniker, YouTube Pete, writes that he is working on a "stereoscopic player as a 20% project" (note: Google engineers are encouraged to spend 20% of their work week--i.e. one day a week--on projects that interest them, a number of which--including AdSense, Gmail and Google News--have subsequently been launched as commercial products).
