The reason why they don't see modern screens is because you're looking at a polarized filter through a polarized filter.

And on that note. You can actually remove the polarized filter from the LCD. Then you will only be able to see what's on the screen while wearing polarized glasses.
@heywoodjablowme16249 жыл бұрын
Matrilwood Jesus man... pay attention. He explained multiple times how these glasses work and why thy don't work on older LCD monitors. These aren't polarized glasses, they are active shutter LCD glasses. Until fairly recently, LCD monitors didn't have a high enough refresh rate to work with active shutter 3D glasses. With regards to these 3D glasses, polarization has *nothing* to do with it.

@heywoodjablowme16249 жыл бұрын
3cc3ntr1c1ty Huh... yeah, he did say that, but he's also incorrect. The reason that the lenses on active-shutter glasses look a bit dark is because the liquid crystal matrix (*especially* LCDs from the 70s - 80s) is not perfectly transparent, even when 'off'. I have a few pairs of active-display glasses from the late 80s (including the same make as the one LGR has) up to the early 2000's and double checked them against a polarized filter. None of the active-shutter glasses that I own have polarized lenses. In fact, I just did a quick Google search of recent active 3D TVs and one of the big benefits mentioned by many of the manufacturers is that their TVs looked much brighter when viewing them in 3D because the active-shutter glasses did not have polarizing filters, which is how passive 3D TV glasses operate.
@3cc3ntr1c1ty9 жыл бұрын
Fair enough, haha. Just out of curiosity, why is it that we don't see flickering through the active-shutter glasses when viewing the older LCD screens? Since, as you say, it is the refresh rate that is the issue, I thought that it would flicker, rather than turn pitch black like it did in the video.
@chE3z110 жыл бұрын
I know why lcd screens look black through the glasses. Lcd screens usually have a polarized film layer on the actual screen thing, and since the glasses are also polarized, it makes it look very dark. Also, if you can take the polarized layer off the screen, the screen will look blank white when turned on. Then if you look through the polarized film layer, you can see the screen fine.

Why is all the 3d backwards? As you approach an object, it should split into two separate images increasingly farther apart the closer you get. They have it the other way around. Closer objects are one image and farther objects are separated. That is just wild, I've never seen anything like that before.

You know what, I think he had to change something in the settings. When he fiddled with the convergence while playing Wolf 3D, he somehow changed it to be correct...that is, the image separation increased as objects became closer.
@MaaZeus5 жыл бұрын
That is a wrong use of 3D. When you have things separating the closer you get, that means they pop out of the screen. Good for "Wow it is 3D!!!" factor but terrible for gameplay and causes all sorts of issues because you have to go crosseyed and if the object is partially out of the screen edges the effect is ruined. When things get together close up and further apart far away, that means the screen itself is like a window where you are looking through into another 3D world. Easier for the eyes and more immersive gameplay. I have fond memories of playing Morrowind through Gainward 3d shutter glasses, it was glorious despite the double images.
@markpenrice62535 жыл бұрын
The only reason I can think of is that it's countering the small inherent separation you have from the monitor sitting relatively close to you - if you wink your eyes alternately, you can see the monitor itself shift. So to have something look more distant, you have to apply an opposite divergence, with an object at infinity having a net zero shift between each eye. However, they've hugely overdone it. The only way that such a counter-shift would look at all natural and not give you a headache from viewing "impossible" images, or subconsciously rationalising them as two separate objects, would be if you were playing the game on a very small monitor (maybe 9 or 10 inches), sitting way too close, had uncannily widely spaced eyes, or maybe all three. The description of the effect in Depth Dwellers makes me think the convergence (infinity position) and the eye separation (strength of effect scaled from zero-separation) are both really badly calibrated by default. The ideal would to have it set so the most distant things in game look more or less like they're at infinity, and the nearest things popping a good way out of the screen, closer to your face... which would need adjustment of both settings.

I think I know why the games looked so bad. The developers had the idea of 3D reversed. As you approach an object, the image is supposed to split into two separate images farther and farther apart from each other; conversely, as you recede away from the object, the two images merge the more distant you are away from it. Instead, the opposite happens.

Gut feeling: 1. Those shades can be made compatible to modern platforms and probably also operate at modern environments, just ditch the parallel port adapter and design a new host adapter, probably based on USB, that uses some modern interface protocol like nVidia 3D-vision. This can be achieved by using a single USB-capable microcontroller like Arduino Leonardo (ATmega32U4) or PIC18F4550. 2. If the old protocol can be reverse engineered and plugged into modern environments, a USB to Parallel adapter can be used to interface the old host adapter hardware to a new computer, and the USB to Parallel adapter can be hacked to also power the host adapter from the USB bus power.
@SianaGearz9 жыл бұрын
陈北宗 Problem no. 1 with USB: timing is bad. The messages come out at most at millisecond precision, and usually a lot worse. This problem is exacerbated with USB to Parallel adapters. There is exactly one USB to parallel adapter which can be bit banged (slowly), which this almost quite definitely needs - the rest only understand printers. OK, i have some idea how to get the input timing better, by enhancing USB input with a VGA/DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort pass-through adapter which will use the precise timing of the video signal, but that's neither cheap nor simple, and you'll have plenty of other issues to contend with. I have a few more ideas to use USB for control and timing, but they are all kind of probably cheaper, but less robust, not to say probably very bad ideas, or possibly even impossible. Problem no. 2 applies to any modern monitor: the timing is wrong. On a CRT, you have nanoseconds of delay between voltage going out of the VGA port and the dot appearing on the screen, instantly going from black to brightly lit. An LCD will usually buffer the whole image and then apply some calculations to counter drive the brightness transformation, usually with slow morph going into an overswing and then back into the intended colour. At different speeds depending on the contrast between before and after colour, soooo... you're gonna be off by milliseconds, and besides, because the colours morph slowly in both directions, there is going to be residue of opposite eye's image also known as ghosting. Some of the ghosting can be suppressed by gating, but then you're losing a lot of brightness. I don't think you'll be able to see anything. A proper solution to this issue is not to gate the shutter glasses, it's too slow anyway, but to gate the LCD backlight in sync with shutter glasses, and do so with an extreme brightness boost, at which point you're modifying the monitor to match the glasses. Problem no. 3, H/V linear polarization filter, like in all early computer shutter glasses, will do weird things on an LCD monitor. TN type LCDs have a high chance of being blacked out completely by polarizing filter, and IPS will likely be visible when you look straight on, but do weird things under even the smallest roll angle. LCD polarizing glasses such as these were perfect for CRTs. So the solution is complex and requires adjustments to all component. OverDrive style algorithm needs to be adjusted, backlight needs to be gated at very specific time, the display technology must be TN because the rest are just too slow, but the glasses need a different direction of polarization, something like 45°, making old polarized glasses useless. Why not do something more trivial - simply rearrange the structure of LCD monitor to have alternating output polarization for different pixels or different lines, and then use passive glasses with polarization rotated by 90°? I believe there were at least 2 companies that did this, iZ3D and somebody else, and it was pretty good and very affordable.

About the polarized glasses, I reckon that there's an element in your monitor that's polarized as well, so try turning the glasses... If you hold two polarized glasses in front of eachother, you get the same effect, and then if you turn one, you'll eventually find a point where they both align and it works out. It has something to do with the direction of light if I remember correctly, and polaroid blocks all but one direction (roughly)

....what was the point of games including _fleshing_ text that says "Please don't copy this game"? That only seems to attract attention to the concept of copying, not dissuade anyone from doing that if they intended to do that in the first place. Wouldn't it have been better to include a Nintendo-style anti-copying message of "It is a serious crime to copy games" or something? Just saying "Please don't copy this game" just doesn't make sense to me.

Shareware existed at the time. The purpose of shareware was to act as a demo of sorts that you were encoraged to copy and give out to your friends and family. Therefore, companies that did not put copy protection on their games had to inform the player that the full version is not shareware so that they would not assume that it would be okay to make copies. Copying a game on flopy disks was so easy they had to worry about children who didn't know they were supposed to pay for the game copying it.

Actually got it a couple weeks ago on sale and have been loving it. Very enjoyable game, a bit like SimCity meets Civilization meets humorous communism.

I was trying to remember what it was, sounded very familiar. Played it on an IBM PS/2 P70 for ages. Was crazy when I first saw it in colour.

I recognized it immediately, even though I haven't played the game or heard the song in over 20 years. It's amazing how some things are burned into one's memory. A job well done for the song's composer, I guess!

I got a very similar looking pair of 3D glasses with an Assus graphics card I got in the late 90s. I fiddled around with them for an hour or so and pretty quickly got a headache and a sore nose and ears! Boy were they uncomfortable and the 3D effect was pretty much zero ... They have been sleeping a dark closet ever since and I don't really miss them...

For some reason every time if someone decides to review software or device that has 3d mentioned in it he's wearing glasses, has poor eyesight and can't see other kinds of 3d properly so all video is like "um well you probably could see 3d here if you try wear those glasses but I can't because my eyes suck oh well I'm having headache"
