[comp.graphics.visualization] 3D Game for IBM-PC

The Software Toolworks Co. sells a game for the IBM-PC that's in 3D. It's 
not the usual red/blue colors, but based on the Pulfrick Effect. In fact a 
Rolling Stone Concert was shown on TV last year (MTV special?) using this 3D. 
7/11 stores were selling the special glasses needed to view this 3D concert.

The glasses have two different lenes, but one is dark gray and the other one
is clear instead of red/blue. The theory is that the brain processes the
images coming in from the dark lens a split second after the images coming in
from the clear lens. This "latency" causes the 3D effect. It only works with
moving AND stationary objects. Both are required. Just looking at TV with
these glasses made most commercials 3D.

The name of the game is Beyond the Black Hole. The company:
