Can I get SBS 3D from a pair of old MyVu glasses?
Posted: Tue Nov 11, 2014 1:01 pm
I'm wanting to begin tinkering with side-by-side 3D and found a pair of MyVu Solo Plus on eBay for $50.
I am aware of the low quality from these glasses (did a bit of research before buying) but figured they can get me started. What I did not discover during my research is that they seem to be using a prism system, similar to passive 3D glasses for SBS viewing.
What I'm fearing this means, is that they're utilizing a single QVGA LCD screen within the glasses and using prisms to duplicate the image for each eye. If this is the case, can I still view SBS images with these, or will the SBS image be displayed in each eye (giving me four images, essentially)? I decided to finally buy the glasses based on this review that specifically mentions the ability to display SBS 3D within the 320x480 resolution. I hope he was accurate...
I have the glasses in hand - which is how I came to realize the prism-split may be the solution to their low cost - but am still waiting on my HDMI-A/V converter to power them up. I figured a post here wouldn't hurt while i'm waiting.
I'm still very new to this but am trying to understand how SBS works in HMDs like the Oculus, Cinemizer, etc... I greatly appreciate any help!
