CrystalEyes

CrystalEyes stereo viewing enhances visualization by displaying images with true depth perception.  CrystalEyes works with your display to enable you to see left- and right-eye views "simultaneously".  This emulates the way you see in the real world — with both eyes.

Stereo viewing is accomplished by showing the left image on your display while the right lens of CrystalEyes is closed, then showing the right image on the display while the left lens is closed.  Because this happens a minimum of 120 times per second, you perceive left and right views simultaneously.  The result is amazingly real depth perception.

As a result, CrystalEyes users can manipulate data much more accurately than with standard displays.  With CrystalEyes, 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.

Affordable. The highest quality in the industry at a great price.

Works With Everything. CrystalEyes can be used with workstations from Sun, Silicon Graphics, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Digital Equipment and Intergraph.  Many workstations have a jack for the  CrystalEyes emitter built-in.  They also work with PCs and Macs.

Sharp, Bright Image. CrystalEyes delivers a minimum dynamic range of 1000:1, ensuring a realistic, high-resolution, ghost-free color image.  The 120 Hz (minimum) screen refresh in stereo mode provides flicker-free operation.

No Cables.  CrystalEyes are triggered by an infra-red signal.  Any number of users can simultaneously use the system with complete freedom of movement within a range of 8-10 feet (3 meters) or 18-20 feet (6.5 meters) with the long-range emitter.

Lightweight. At 3.3 oz (93 g.), the eyewear is as comfortable as a pair of eyeglasses and fits easily over most glasses.

Large Field Of View.  If you can see the screen you can see quality stereo.

Long Battery Life. Uses standard  batteries for over 200 hours of operation.

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

Plug and Play. Most computers require only a simple cable to hook-up the emitter to the monitor.
