- Unfortunately, X-Specs are not just pieces of plastic and cardboard. They
- are goggles that fit over your eye, and have lcd shutters for each eye.
- The shutters oscillate between transparent and opaque 30 times a second, and
- while the left one is opaque, the right is transparent... So all the software
- has to do is alternate images 30 times/sec and provide the right images and
- you'll see stuff in full color, flickery 3d.

- That's how it works in NTSC land, I'm assuming it would be every 25th of
- a second over in PAL.
