IR Emitter for Shutter Glasses

Shutter glasses with alternating transmissive LCD panels, which are synchronised over an infrared triggering to the CRT, are used for stereo display of information on the display, so spatial information can be places in a workspace reaching into and out of the screen. The high quality of this three dimensional display technique is very import for it's acceptance; users usually find it rather uncomlicated to use. We inted to utilise Augmented Reality techniques, allowing the user to view both 2D and 3D data. The combination of a display device with shutter glasses supporting the partial immersion of the user - usually called Fishtank-VR set-up - does not overload users with difficult to wear hardware devices, and keeps the necessary time to get familiar with the interface very low. Furthermore this type of display technology can support more than one observer, so that they can see and investigate 3D informaiton simultaneously on one display.

Keyboard

To keep the possibility of conventional operations alive, the Personal Workspace hardware configuration also includes a keyboard as standard desktop interface for the direct input of commands.
