CrystalEyes PC

How CrystalEyes PC Can Help You
CrystalEyes PC stereo viewing enhances visualization, intuitively conveying complex information. As a result, CrystalEyes PC users can manipulate data much more accurately than with standard displays. With CrystalEyes PC, designs can be tested on the screen, shortening design cycles, reducing design costs, and decreasing expensive physical prototype requirements. Some stereo viewing applications include virtual environmental design, CAD/CAM/CAE, AEC walk-throughs, animation, GIS/mapping, and virtual prototyping.
What You Can Expect
Affordable. The highest quality
at the lowest cost.

Compatible With Many PC Platforms.
Including IBM PCs and compatibles,
some Apple Macintoshes and Amigas.

Sharp, Bright Image. CrystalEyes
delivers a minimum dynamic range
of 500:1, ensuring a realistic, high-
resolution, ghost-free color image.
The 120 Hz screen refresh
in stereo mode provides flicker-free
operation.

Untethered.Any number of users can
simultaneously use the system with
complete freedom of movement.

Lightweight.At 3 oz (85 grams),
the eyewear is as comfortable as a
pair of eyeglasses and fits easily over
most corrective eyewear.

Large Cone Of ViewIf you can see
the screen you can see quality stereo.

Long Battery Life.Uses standard
batteries for over 100 hours of
operation. Automatic power shut-off
after eight minutes of non-use.

Automatic Bright Mode.User can
easily read, write or observe a
non-stereo monitor without removing
the eyewear.

Plug and Play.Requires only a simple
cable hook-up and the appropriate
software.*

*Many suppliers offer software to
create and edit graphic stereo images.
For example, MicronGreen enables
stereo rendering for AutoCAD r.12.

How It Works
Our ability to see stereo, or depth, comes from each of our eyes seeing a slightly different view of the world and our brain integrating those images into one.

CrystalEyes PC recreates the way we naturally see depth with comfortable, lightweight, untethered active eyewear using the fastest liquid-crystal shuttering technology available. In conjunction with the alternating left- and right-eye views shown on the stereo-ready display, the CrystalEyes PC emitter synchronizes the shuttering of the eyewear's left and right lenses. Therefore, as the lenses shutter at 60, 70, or more fields per eye per second, each eye receives the corresponding left or right view. The brain then integrates the two views into a dramatically high-resolution, full-color, flicker-free
stereo image.
