I tried a pair of these at an Amiga group meeting back in the 90's. I think there was a Lunar Lander type game with them.

Are they Amiga-specific? I assume, if so, that they use interlaced modes for separate frames?

I used a pair circa '94 (I think?) plugged onto playstation, playing an early version of wipeout. It was in one of these public demos one gets in a mall. It felt like something out of this world, but I don't know how much of this impression was down to me being an easily excitable teenager. It would be interesting to see what software accompanied an amiga-specific implementation. More pictures and a video or two would be great! :-)

Playstation?..those must have been specific for the Sony machine.  I have not tested them yet but this model is for Amiga only and can only run with the software I assume..

I had a pair of those back in the day.... they might even still be in the storage unit. I thought they were novel, but the flickering was too annoying. I wanted to use them to build 3d models for Videoscape, but never did much with them.

I wonder what the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" looks like wearing them?

Those are xspecs glasses. I would be willing to buy or trade for it if you are interested. Please let me know either way. Thx

[wrath of khan]

played on a virtual boy at gamescom. I thought it was cool.quite good immersion in 3d. never had anything like those specs though.

Right.  Here is a quote from our July meeting announcement of the Fresno Commodore User Group, "...for the Amiga, it's time for the game, Space Spuds, a 3-D game used with the Haitex X Specs 3D Stereoscopic Glasses.  Watch the enemies fly towards you!"   We had great fun trying out the glasses with the game and with the included 3-D still shots.

Truly,

Very interesting Stereoscope was brought up as the new TV's next year will be upping their HD to 4k2k standards and they will be called stereoscopic and no more glasses :-)

Philips have a great example of one already although the price entry point is too high.

I remember some old 3d glasses from the 80's which worked very well, just heavy.

I also played/supported some 3d glasses that came with video cards backin the 90's, I'm sure it was Nvidia at the time.

This is a good list, although doesnt appear to be complete to me.
