It's been a long time but I've done a test since the last time.
My theory is that if the only thing that prevents timing devices from working on modern LCD screens is the timing itself relative to the pain of the monitor then in theory a low enough ping monitor should be insignificant where you could pass 3D on to a normal 2D monitor if you get it there quick enough where the timing Gap is irrelevant.
I have a 1ms Lenovo TN monitor, and I was able to successfully Play Sega Master System Sega scope games through a retro tank which is considered lag-free for everything except possibly light gun games, (which requires sub microsecond timing to be accurate, so even an analog VCR throws that off.). Unfortunately the Sega scope glasses have variable polarization that flash on and off as the Segascope flashes.
Looking through the lens normally I could see the real world but the TV is filtered out. However if I rotate my head 90° either clockwise or anticlockwise, even though the stereoscopy of the two images are off because my eyes are lying vertically but viewing them horizontally, a unique picture actually comes through both eyes. I can see distinct left and right images though they don't necessarily line up correctly which means that if you can rotate each polarized lens 90 degrees then you can play Sega scope games on a modern low ping monitor.
I'm wondering what kind of add-on devices are currently available for modern TVs to turn them 3D.
Do 3D processors for projectors work the same way as 3D processors do for low ping TN screens? If so then any monitor can become a 3D monitor assuming it's low ping enough.
Is there a currently existing 3D processor that works with TN screens that flashes alternate Left Right frames?
Also is there such a thing currently as a 3D processor that's a separator which separates the left stream and right stream into two separate HDMI outputs that could be inputted into my 2 separate capture cards, and capture stereoscope a lot easier versus the hackish nature of cameras in a filter?
The final step is probably testing to see if the stereo carries over on the HDMI ARC connection and if the timing could be adjusted to after the playback is done on the monitor for stuff that has higher ping.
If that's the case then 3D will never die as long as add on 3D processors are made.
