- Please send it up (or email it to me). I was "blessed" with
- monocular vision (there is a crater on the center of the optic nerve, left
- eye) and am quite interested in VR. This weekend I'm getting (if I can
- find one) a powerglove, and will look for Sega's glasses as well.
-
- But will the glasses DO anything for me? Using old-tech 3D
- glasses, all I see is red (or blue, depending on the orientation :-) ).
- I wonder how Sega (or other) glasses work? And how much I actually SEE
- in 3D to begin with (perhaps very little, as I only have peripheral vision
- in that eye, and it can't even read...).
-
- Thanks in advance for any info!
