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: http://www.cyviz.com/ ...but it's expensive. Probably more than 10.000 US$ or €. Alex |

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 , though on screen it looks like this |

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 |
