  StereoGraphics makes the Crystal Eyes, wireless shutters. Unlike the
Sega or X-Specs (Nintendo), they are wireless, have large shutters with
excellent light transmittance/blockage, and run at 120 hz (aot 60).  No
flicker and very bright images are the result.  You can set up a pair of
game glasses for under $100, while the Crystal Eyes are $2000.
