Somebody posted this to comp.sys.amiga.*, I thought it might be of interest

Well, I just called up the bulletin board at Haitex, read everything,
and have enclosed the interesting stuff. They have a few cute images
and a space blasters game. I got a pretty severe jitter on a 500.
I don't know my Amigas, so I don't know what the refresh rate is.

STEREOSCOPIC GLASSES
HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS
Description
The X-Specs 3D glasses contain two liquid crystal optical
modulators, one for each eye. They have two optical states: one
light transmitting, one light blocking. By operating them out of
phase, stereoscopic image pairs can be viewed field sequentially.
The drive signals (25v p-p @ 500 Hz) are supplied by the driver
interface which has been adapted to the Amiga computer. Using X-
Specs compatible software, sync signals are generated for the
driver interface by the computer to trigger left and right images.

Note: If a "low" state persists more than two horizontal periods,
both eyes declare transparent.
