This has been available for the CBM Amiga for some time now.  I forget
the exact name of the lcd goggles (I think it's X-Specs or something
noxious like that.  Made by "Haitex", I think).  Anyway, it's a set
of lcd-shutter glasses for around $100.  Comes with a couple of moderately
neat games which take advantage of the boffo graphics chips on the
stock Amiga.  Lots cheaper than an RS6000 or SGI machine if you just
want to play around with simple ideas.
