(How about you Sony? This would be an excellent addition to your fine line of products. =) I have not attempted this yet, however I am sure it will work. I have an old pair of Sega Master System shutter glasses. For those of you who know, these glasses have a stereo headphone jack on the end of this. Out of curiosity, I hooked it up to a stereo (with no volume of course), then I turned on some music and slowly started raising the volume until I got the glasses turning on and off the shutters. Ahh ha! I thought, this would be a simple way to create shutter glasses without any hardware add-ons. Control the shutter glasses with the left and right audio. Simply create a call that sends a beep to either channel for the cooresponding shutter. Does anyone know how much voltage is required to turn these shutters on/off? ( I imagine it is the standard 5 volts.) The down side to this is; you can't have any sound with your game. =( ... Anyone want to make a parrallel adapter for shutter glasses? (oh wait! that would require sony to give us specs on the parallel port.... hint hint! =) At any rate, currently this is all a thought in my head... as soon as I get around to it I will try it out and post a sample program on my web site (once I get that done too. =) .. Happy Yaroz'ing! Benjamen Siroshton
