Hi,

I'm planning to use a DLP to project in 3D with flight sims, and therefore I must sit pretty near of the screen.

I have now the edimensional glasses, and I have noticed that their lcd's are a bit small to see all the screen without need to move the head. So I'm looking for shutter glasses with bigger lcds and also with good quality (at least as ED's) to minimize the ghosting due to not-too-darkened-lcds,

Anybody could recommend me some glasses?

Thank you very much

Note: The ED's have 3cm x 2 cm lcds

The "professional" wireless shutter glasses NuVision GX 60 and StereoGraphics CrystalEyes both have exceptionally large LC panels and a frame designed to shield ambient light. However, both these models are VERY expensive, especially the StereoGraphics, and each will function only with its own brand of IR emitter.

From time to time eBay offers used versions of these glasses at bargain prices, so it might be worth your while to search there. (Remember that you will also need to purchase the correct emitter.)

Tx,

but a bit too much expensive for gaming...

Other alternatives, DIY solutions?

Occasionally Imax theaters have batches of Imax 3D alternate-eye glasses for sale. Each LCD lens is 5cm x 7cm and the approximate horizontal field of view is 80-90 degrees, depending on the viewer.

You could try calling some of them to see if they have sources for such things.

Alatar:

Most wireless consumer shutter glasses will function only with their own proprietary IR emitter, and won't synch properly with the signal from another company's model.

Do you know if the IR signal required by the IMAX theatrical shutter glasses is compatible with consumer IR emitters such as eDimensional, and if so which brands?

Yes, I am all too aware of the various formats required by various manufacturers. No, I don't know if Imax is the same format as any consumer emitters. We use custom-made emitters ourselves, I have the signal format required but I will have to ask if this is considered confidential information or not.

It is not terribly hard to dismantle the hoods to get direct access to the panel leads; they can be driven in the same way as any other LCD panels.

Hey DarkBlueSky;

I modified the NuVision glasses to work with RCA pass-through. The glasses feature the large half pie cells and comfortable frames that NuVision does so well but I took out all the electronics and added in the RCA composite electronics along with a few bells and whistles like electronic contrast adjustments and phase flip.

The glasses are sweet to use and by far the best wireless glasses ever put to a 3D televsion signal.

Let me know if you would like to buy a pair as I do have a couple extra glasses and transmitters made -
