- ryusage 15y agoInteresting that geek.com says the picture is from 1995, while the article you've linked here says the monitor was newly announced in May of 1997. I'm guessing geek took some liberties with the details. EDIT: Not that it matters...just something I noticed.

- jdabney 15y agoThe glasses are 3D LCD shutter glasses. They sync the frame rate of the shutter to the video output using to the box on top of the monitor. This is a old school version of what the 3D TVs are doing now. We had a whole lab setup with active 3D at work and it was truly amazing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_Automatic_Virtual_Environment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_Automatic_Virtual_Environm...
