Yes, that's a shutterglasses controller - for the AtariST expansion
port. It has a 3.5 mm stereo jack on the other side.

VECTREX Glasses. As far as I know the glasses were at production
stage already. When presented on a trade fair the customer reaction was
bad. I guess the glasses produced lots of flicker and ghosting on
this kind of screen. Ghostimages are especially irritating in Vector graphics.
Never hit the market I think. The Vectrex was a stand alone video game
console in the 80's. It had a monochrome Vector-CRT (like the Asteroids
Arcade machine). What's a vector monitor? Well, it doesn't write lines
to the screen like a TV, it writes the objects directly. There are no pixels.
It's like todays Laser-Shows where they draw simple objects with light.
The Vectrex was available here in Europe. I played it in toy stores in
Germany and France. I liked it, but was to expensive for me back then (DM
500,-).
Now there's an emulator and all the cardridges available on the net
at
Dave's Classics (incredible
website!!!).
Mirage 3D Shutterglasses
I found them on a
site in Taiwan.
I wish to thank
Steve Wei of
New3D
who translated the page for me. Steve and New3D are in no way connected
to the Mirage manufacturer. Please
read his comment. (Quite interesting what's going on in Taiwan.) The
glasses itself are quite common, what they are used for is... well... unbelievable:
adult material decoding... huhh?
