Polarized Glasses

Polarised glasses are a subset of shutter glasses. Rather than the shutters opening and closing at a defined rate, continually, the shutters on polarised glasses are permanently down, and polarised. Each is polarised perpendicular to the other such that each half can only accept light beams whose wavelength is in a precise alignment. Typically, the left eye looks through vertical polarizing film, right eye looks through horizontal polarizing film.

They work in conjunction with a display screen that alternates every refresh between horizontally and vertically polarised light. The display rate is halved, but stereoscopic vision can be achieved with only one screen.

Sometimes polarised glasses are termed passive polarised 3D glasses. Both terms mean the same thing.

Taking a look at shutter glasses, one of the staple technologies for sterioscopic vision in VR and AR.





At CES 2009, Nvidea unveiled a system of active glasses. Specifically, shutter glasses. The frames alternate polarisation to block light out every second frame, so that each eye gets half the screen update rate of any normal monitor, but will work with a normal output stream just fine.







At CHI 2009 (computer Human Interaction conference,) many new modalities of interface were demonstrated. One of the more practical was the product of a team from ETH Zurich's Wearable Computing lab. Vaguely resembling the bastard child of a set of safety glasses and a HMD, the EOG goggles are an eye movement tracking system, that requires no external hardware to operate.
