Claims30
A signal sensor for use in 3D glasses for receiving a signal from a signal transmitter and sending a decoded signal to a controller for operating the 3D glasses, comprising:
- a band pass filter for filtering the signal received from the signal transmitter;
- and
- a decoder operably coupled to the band pass filter for decoding the filtered signal and providing the decoded signal to the controller of the 3D glasses.
3D glasses, comprising:
- a band pass filter for filtering the signal received from a signal transmitter;
- a decoder operably coupled to the band pass filter for decoding the filtered signal;
- a controller operably coupled to the decoder for receiving the decoded signal;
- and
- left and right optical shutters operably coupled to and controlled by the controller as a function of the decoded signal.
A method of transmitting data signals to 3D glasses, comprising:
- transmitting a synchronous serial data signal to the 3D glasses.
A method of operating 3D glasses having left and right optical shutters, comprising:
- transmitting a synchronous serial data signal to the 3D glasses;
- and
- controlling the operation of the left and right optical shutters as a function of data encoded in the data signal.
A computer program stored in a tangible medium for transmitting data signals to 3D glasses, comprising:
- transmitting a synchronous serial data signal to the 3D glasses.
A computer program stored in a tangible medium for operating 3D glasses having left and right optical shutters, comprising:
- transmitting a synchronous serial data signal to the 3D glasses;
- and
- controlling the operation of the left and right optical shutters as a function of data encoded in the data signal.
A synchronization signal for operating one or more optical shutters within a pair of three dimensional viewing glasses, the synchronization signal stored within a machine readable medium, comprising:
- one or more data bits for controlling the operation of the one or more of the optical shutters within the pair of three dimensional viewing glasses;
- and
- one or more clock pulses that precede each of the data bits.
