Theatre glasses (modern ones, anyway) work based on polarization of the lenses, which separates the left/right images.
Streetview 3D (at least when I looked at it) works based on the oldschool red/blue filtering to separate the images.
Neither is compatible in any way.
Back in the day I played with PC-based 3D that uses shutters to achieve the same effect, if you don't mind the splitting headache from the flickering. Also incompatible with the 2 methods above - plus, you needed special glasses that plugged into your video card (to provide power and control timing). And software support for it.
I don't even know if you can have 3D come out of your computer that works on the polarization trick. I thought you had to have 2 separate projectors for this to work.
