You bet! It really was nice of them to let us have that much of a look behind the scenes, wish we didn't have to wait until the end of 2012 to see the first one.

Won't the higher frame rate have a bit of that smooth-motion look you see on displays with frame interpolation? Granted it won't be 60fps like typical video, so it won't have that "soap opera effect" as some have nick-named it. But it certainly won't have the 24fps cadence we become used to. I think some of the people excited about it will have second thoughts upon seeing actual results.
The soap opera effect will not be as pronounced as it would be for a 2D shoot at a higher frame rate. It will help to get both the background and foreground into focus. Motion blur is more of a viewing issue with live action 3D than it is with 2D. Shooting 3D at 48 FPS helps to allievate this. The issue of; "where do I look (within the two frames) so I don't get eye strain" is what I am talking about.

So I'm guessing we should be seeing the new projectors soon that are able to handle 48FPS?

No. This is a commerical cinema advancement. Not for home video. And right now, it is really an experiment. Two movies don't make an industry wide change.
Existing digital cinema projectors (most of them) can handle 48FPS
