Desktop Stereo

Each Vislab computer is equipped with a stereo graphics board and an LCD shutter glass emitter system. Sun workstations have a box on top of each monitor, which emits a control signal that tells the LCD shutter glasses to alternately close off each eye alternately.

Emitter Systems

TheSun Workstation emitters have three settings: High, Off, and Low. Normally, they are in the Off position.

The High and Low positions refer to the dispersion of the IR signal. The High position makes the signal wider so you don't have to sit directly in front of it to see receive the signal. Start with the switch in the Low position and if the glasses flicker, change it to High.

The PCs in the lab also have an infrared emitter, but they are always On.

Workstations

Sun workstations use the larger CrystalEyes® glasses. The Vislab has two pairs of beige-colored glasses and one pair of gray-colored glasses. The beige glasses activate when they are opened while the gray glasses require users to press the rubber button on the right temple to activate them. Note: Remember to deactivate the gray glasses when no longer in use.

PC's use the smaller StereoEyes® glasses. The Vislab has four pairs for use with PC's. These activate when they are opened.

The glasses should be returned to the bookshelf when no longer in use.
