[REQ] Simple wired glasses controller for PC
Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2010 2:53 am
G'day everyone,
I have a few pairs of these LCD shutter glasses
http://tinyurl.com/2667pcc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
as well as some old Sega glasses and want to use them with Peter Wimmer's excellent 3D player software to watch 3D movies on the PC.
I'd prefer them to be triggered via the VGA or DVI sync pulse, and work with either Field Sequential for interlaced resolutions (1920x1080i) with my old CRT projector, or work with pageflip for non-interlaced resolutions.
I keep reading that such a controller is 'easy' and referred to various circuits, but many are dead links, or are designed for much more complex things.
I can make PCBs and solder extremely well, but my electronics knowledge is quite limited ( I know what resistors and capacitors do, but that is about it)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd be happy to pay for an actual unit, or even to help pay to get a circuit drawn up or a PCB layout done.
I'd also be happy to assemble and test a few units for free if anyone else could use one.
Any help really appreciated, I just don't have the money to buy an off the shelf new 3D system, and would like to play with the gear I already have (CRT monitors and projectors)
Cheers!
