If there is enough interest it is only a matter of time. Here are a couple of examples... http://readwrite.com/2011/12/02/5_best_siri_hacks

so the intent for home use is obviously not to have 128 speakers- even the best movie theaters are deploying 64 speakers. the key to this is in the availability of 128 discrete channels - so the combination of the number of speakers - 5.1 or 7.1, 9.2 - and the capabilities and position of the speakers will determine what is being sent to each speaker. I agree there has been a number formats that never took off such as DVD-A HD-DVD, SACD etc, but this is actually being rolled out to movie theaters

Instead of creating 3D sound from stereo speakers I think the future for surround is Dolby Atmos. Instead of carrying a 7.1 or a 5.1 signal it has up to 128 channels and based on your particular configuration and placement of speakers these the sound stage will be configured for your specific configuration. This is only in cinemas yet, but it will come to home cinemas eventually. http://designingsound.org/2012/11/my-impressions-of-dolby-atmos/

There are (at least) 2 types of active shutter glasses - IR and RF. I believe BV11 ueses IR, but it would be great if someone could confirm. The cheapest "guest" glasses for IR 3D are the Playstation glasses http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3-3D-Glasses/dp/B00562O8U0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359480839&sr=8-1&keywords=playstation+3+glasses They can often be had for $20.
