Researching 3D arcade technologies & histories

The screen is a standard CRT. The game basically alternates showing left and right images and sends the signal to the glasses to blank out the correct eye so you only see one image at a time. So, the 3D effect only works on a CRT because it is specifically timed to the refresh rate that is standard to these monitors. Luckily, the glasses just have three wires (left eye, right eye, and neutral). So, it is simple enough that the glasses from Sega work fine for this cabinet. It is the same tech, just a slightly different shape.
Thank you :) I'm QUITE familiar with it and it's many iterations because it was a consumer technology specifically designed for individual ownership home usage, early active wired glasses were NOT designed for wear and tear, and wireless IR and RF glasses, guarantees loss lol. I'm really surprised it made it's way into a commercial arcade. Who was the mfg again? I have to look up it's release, this is super interesting already :) thank you!

The game is from Taito. I think a lot of the cabinets shipped without the glasses. Most machines of the game you can find now don't have the glasses anymore from what I can tell.

Although not meant for arcade games, I still have a Sharp Aquos 3D TV and IR shutter glasses. Years ago my kid figured out that some of the Xbox 360 Halo games would play in 3D.

I have several sets of the glasses with bad batteries if you guys want to experiment.

My conference chair designed that TV :)))
He also designed the Nintendo 3Ds ;)
And when he visited NYC for a few days two ish years ago he came to my nerdy 3D party and confirmed a dual layer LCD handheld from bandai I wasn't comfortable making a definitive call on, and that is now the earliest example of a stereoscopic game for the history of 3D consumer releases (it's actually one of 9 released by bandai that year)

And you can play games on it :))
Loads of connections :)))👌👌👌
