Sega's shutter glasses are battered and bruised, but she notes that more modern versions are available using the same basic idea. The technology relies on liquid crystal shutters, one for each eye. By showing different images to the left and right eyes, it's possible to create a 3D vision effect even with very limited display hardware.
The glasses can be plugged directly into a Sega Master system, dating back to the mid-1980s. It sends AC signals to trigger the LCD shutters via a humble 3.5mm TRS jack. Games like Space Harrier 3D, which were written to use the glasses, effectively run at half-speed refresh rate. This is because the screen's 60Hz NTSC or 50Hz PAL refresh rate is split in half to serve each eye. Unfortunately, the glasses don't work on modern LCD screens, as their inherent display lag disrupts the timing of the pulses the console sends to the glasses.
