For what it’s worth, side-by-side stereo-adjustable mirror glasses are still 
available.  Also ones that use prisms to achieve a similar, though not 
identical, effect.  I’ve bought various objects, because I *still* prefer 
building in 3D. I think one understands better what one is looking at.

Back at Yale, as the yalies from the 80s on ccp4bb will remember, a large glass 
mirror setup was built that was hinged and fit over the top of the PS2 (and 
then ?PS300?) screen so that you could do side-by-side without having to adjust 
anything.  You just poked your nose at the divide between the two central 
mirrors.  I built a similar kind of device myself using mylar mirrors and 
cardboard a few years ago, but without the hinges.

Ah, the past, a different country.

Hi Alastair

YES! Those are the ones.

Many thanks
