Haitex is still around, I think. They are in Charleston, S.C. The guys who
make VR Slingshot have some other kind of LCD glasses. I've had X-Specs for
five years now, got them with Turbo Silver SV. Imagine supports them, and
even writes DCTV stereo anims, and'll send stereo stills out to my FC24. And
it will make HAM stereo anims in it's proprietary format. To view these anims,
tho, you'll need a 15.5mhz 1084 type monitor, and they really do a job on
your eyes. What works much better is to crank the stereo frames in Imagine,
and split the resulting images into left and right frames with an image
processor, and turn them into red/blue anaglyphic stereo pairs. There was an
Amiga World article on how to do that several months back. You can view these
anims on a high scan rate monitor (I make 32 color ones, 16red,16blue) useing
the cheap red/blue glasses available almost anywhere. Seven Eleven has them
on sale for 33 cents, in fact. Your eyes don't get tired nearly as quickly.
They do tend to be dark, tho, because the images have to be pure rgb reds and
blues, but when I turn up the brightness on my 1950 they look great. Also,
they are monochromatic, but they really do look better than those thru the
Haitex glasses.
