The question isn't as dumb as it seems at first. If you had a 2D headset which uses one or two little CRT monitors and if you would be able to put some LCD-shutterglasses under the helmet it would indeed work. Problem is most CRT-headsets are discontinued, expensive and are already stereo-capable, so it doesn't make sense. Newer 2D-headsets, like the ones from Sony, Olympus and i-glasses use LCD- or LCoS-displays and can't be combined with shutterglasses. So the answer is yes in theory, but no in practice. You may be able to use anaglyph (red/blue) cardboard 3D-glasses under a 2D-LCD-headset though. Personally I think it's a shame there are so many non-3D-headsets, especially because most of them already have 2 seperate displays, which are the most expensive parts in there. Just a little wiring and electronics is missing. Christoph | ||

Christoph, Here's another option: A single LCD, and drivers to display a side-by-side stereo pair, and optics to route each image to the appropriate eye. I am attempting to construct such a HMD using a PSOne LCD screen. Will post my progress. BTW, headtracing will be handled by a modified GyroPoint mouse. The goal is a relatively light-weight stereo capable HMD that supports headtracking and resolutions of 640x480, for a construction cost of about $200. Still working hard, Rave669 |
