#X-Specs3D Stereographics
5 messages in this thread
I've found the Lost Ark of the Covenant!!!
But I cannot find any help programming Haitex's X-Specs 3D Stereoscopic
Glasses.
For the past three weeks, I have been searching and imploring for assistance on
this.
Haitex, the company which created and sold the glasses is defunct. No
assistance can be gained from them.
These glasses plug into a box which plugs into the Joystick port (port2) of the
Amiga. Their theory of operation is simple: using two LCD displays (one for
each eye), the goggles (or glasses) are synched to the Amigas Interlace display
(so that the left eye gets the odd set of scans and the right eye gets the even
set, per se). With this in mind, a complex (at least from a programming
standpoint) ritual is going on between the glasses and the Amiga's video
output.
I would be forever indebted to anyone who has such information. Otherwise, I
will able to be reached at Bellevue under psychiatic supervision (:S

If you have the disk that came with the glasses, there should be an example or
two on it (in assembler too, I think). There is also xspecs.library somewhere
in the forum libraries that might help. If you don't have the disk, let me know
and I'll see what I can do without being drawn and quartered by the other forum
members … 8^)

I got the glasses, the interface adaptor, an 'easy-reading' book, and a disk
with nothing but demos and 'SpaceSpuds' ; the game. There was no source code
or examples on how to program using them. I bought these glasses about 6 or 7
years ago, so they might have been more reserved about giving out any
information.
Yes, I've heard that there is a library available but have had no luck. I'll
take a look in the forum libraries and let you know what I found. Thank you
for the offer. Will let you know if I need your assistance!

Daniel Wolf, of MegageM is here on CI$, he sells his own software which
works with the field-3d stereo glasses like those from Haitex. He also
has 3d tapes and other stuff. He would probably be the one to talk to.
Hmmm. OK, then, look for something in the libraries called ThreeBallTrick – it
includes source in C for working with specs.library and some "glu" assembler
code, as well as the xspecs.library. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll
binary-EMail it to you.
