Does anyone know the best place to get cheap VGA or SVGA micro displays. Also, the driver hardware to go with it to accept VGA input. Also is there a stand alone module that will take a page flipped VGA input and split it into two seperate VGA outputs?

Thanks

Ray

Haven't found a source for the LCDs yet (please post if you do!). I am going to experiment first with low resolution and maybe some displays out of portable TVs, or whatever I can get my hands on with RGB in. I think it would probably be better quality to implement interlaced (line swap) stereoscopic.. it just might be a problem when looking for drivers, and also viewing on a monitor for testing. Anyone know what a 800x1200 picture looks like on a monitor, or which drivers can do it? I would hate to write my own if it has already been done.

The stand alone module:

...but it's expensive. Probably more than 10.000 US$ or €.

Adding 800x1200 screen mode isn't hard (at least it worked for me with Win95 and NVidia drivers):
Just add an entry for the desired resolution in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Display\(depends)\MODES\(8,16,32)\800,1200
(depends) is 0002 for me (several re-intstallations of drivers), maybe 0000 or 0001 for you. (8,16,32) means seperate settings for 8/16/32 bit color depth.
At least, it works for the desktop, haven't tried with DirectX or OpenGL applications.
Resulting bitmap is this 800x1200buffer, though on screen it looks like this 800x1200screen

BTW: seems to be some glitch in the BBS software, or is just just me who sees my 'Sufficient proof...' message's header in this thread's overview, although I just posted it to the other thread ?

The cyviz looks like just what I am looking for, but why is it so expensive? Is there REALLY that much electronics in there?

Now my theory on LCDs isn't up to scratch (yet!) but I don't see why you couldn't just (for page flipping) send alternate frames to alternate LCDs based on the vertical sync signal? Of course I need to check what kind of horizontal and vertical frequencies LCDs are good for and how long they can wait between lines/pages etc..

Hardly sounds like £8500 of hardware though ;-)

Interesting discussion going on there :-) Regarding pricing of our product, very much is related to the long period of development it takes to create such a flexible, and unique product. However we also have some beta versions of the xpo.1 witch we can offer you to a very favourable price.. Please contact us for further information. SAO www.cyviz.com
