+Gemintronic Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Does chromadepth not blend well? I noticed most chromadepth images tend to use solid colors so things look like viewmaster slides or 3D movies converted after the fact. @intvnut: I respect that you'd consider INTV homebrewers first for the Chronodepth glasses. Would you consider releasing your source for those glasses? I'd like to try making some 3D 2600 games later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed most chromadepth images tend to use solid colors so things look like viewmaster slides or 3D movies converted after the fact. It depends on how you're generating color, really. On a display (LCD or CRT), you tend to only have red, green and blue colors, mixed to varying degrees to make it look like other colors. For example, yellow on a CRT is composed of red and green. When the yellow light from the CRT hits the prisms in the ChromaDepth glasses, the red and green diverge, and now you have a yellow square with a green fringe on one side and a red fringe on the other. It doesn't really give you a way to put something at a distance between red and green. That's in contrast to something that actually emits yellow light (say, hot coals in a fire, or the right sort of 'neon' light), in which case the yellow light will take on its own depth. @intvnut: I respect that you'd consider INTV homebrewers first for the Chronodepth glasses.

IntellivisionGuy97 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Wow, I can't believe my simple question asked a while back has evolved into sucess in 3-D Intellivision and starting development with 3-D for Intellvision games... I feel helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqoon Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Would the red lens/blue lens paper glasses Nintendo packaged with Rad Racer work? I already have those with my original Rad Racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvnut Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Would the red lens/blue lens paper glasses Nintendo packaged with Rad Racer work? I already have those with my original Rad Racer. Those won't work for Hover Force. The anaglyph 3-D used by Rad Racer works by producing images in two different colors (red and blue, usually) and using the red/blue lenses to filter the two images to your two eyes. Only red light goes to one eye and only blue light goes to the other eye. How near or far away something appears is a function of where it appears in both images, not what color it is. (In fact, anaglyph 3-D works best with black-and-white content.) ChromaDepth works much differently. It uses prisms to split light apart just like it does in a rainbow, where red shifts less than green, which shifts less than blue. It orients the prisms in one eye one direction and the opposite direction in the other eye. All colors go to both eyes. The result is that red items look much closer, green items are in the middle and blue items are further away. Depth gets sorted by color.

This video is pretty nice with them too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBfZXI_4cZY That video was wild. The 3-D was intense and in your face.

+Rick Reynolds Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'm a bit late on this idea - are there adult sized glasses made with plastic instead of cardboard available somewhere? Looking on Amazon, I only see cardboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayXambeR Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 It seems very interesting! Where is it possible to buy one pair of these 3D glasses, please? What is this type of glasses: anaglyphic, pulfrich, ... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionDude Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 LOL I wonder if adding a pair of $2 3-D glasses will affect the price. He's really trying to hype them up in the description. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 251213791148 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
