3-d glasses (those with two different colour lenses) do work, but the downside is that either the colors are somewhat misplaced in the picture or the picture has to be black and white, since the system relies on one eye seeing colours that the other doesn't.
There are also systems that work with polarized light, but there are no household applications of that because polarized light isn't that simple to make in a way that's suitable for 3D picture projection. Water reflections are polarized, but that doesn't really work here, especially since you'd need to have two polarizations at a 90 degree angle to each other (good luck getting water to reflect so that it's surface is vertical...)
