Modern glasses on legacy devices?
Posted: Tue Dec 20, 2016 2:32 pm
Hi all! I'm not actually new to 3D, but I've been complacent using passive 3D for awhile. After years away from active 3D, I find myself needing to catch up.
Specifically, I have 3D glasses adaptors for Nintendo Famicom (NES) and Sega Master System. The glasses for these are bulky, overly dark, uncomfortable, and usually ravaged by time. I'd like to be able to use newer, better glasses with them. Fortunately, both use the standard 3.5 mm headphone style connection that used to be nearly universal. Unfortunately, all of the modern active 3D glasses I can find to buy are RF/Bluetooth-based. Getting a new controller is obviously not an option in this case. It seems like there must be an adaptor out there to connect a wireless transmitter to the 3.5 mm port on a wired legacy glasses controller. Can anyone help me get started on finding something like this?
