- Depends on the interfaces. For VR you need a left and a right channel to
- really work right as each may be a little different. If these glasses
- have only one interface feeding two screens, this may be a problem.
- Converting a VGA display to NTSC isn't a real big trick. There are
- boards of the shwlf now that do that.
- Once again, you need two boards, one left, one right to give you true
- stereoscopic viewing.
- Hacking these things to work for true stereoscopic VR may be a bitch.
- Maybe they'll be smart on the Glasses and make a VR ready pair for VR
- hackers.
