This is a Viewsonic PS600W and it is active stereo with Nvidia 3DVision shutter glasses.

If this runs i'll tryout CrystalEyes

That is a very interesting CAVE set up. It'd be cool to see more pics when you get farther along.

That's really too bad the page is unavailable (and blocked on the Wayback Machine). It had useful information and pictures showing the disassembly process and a few ideas for repairs.

I should have looked harder: the page is still available (not blocked) on the redoubtable archive.is. adobbins, try the instructions there to see if you can fix your glasses.

One of the posts on this thread links to a page (https://saf.bio.caltech.edu/crystaleyes) that purports to be about Crystal Eyes repair. However the link seems to be defunct.

I have a few pairs of Crystal Eyes that aren't really usable anymore -- applying pressure at points on the plastic frames or on the wings
may bring temporary relief but very flaky. 

Does anyone have experience with restoring the functionality of the glasses?

Help would be very much appreciated.

I have got several for sale. No need to repair.

Mine don't seem to work very at all with Indy and Presenter. They blinked little bit with Irix 5.3 but did nothing at all with 6.5.
I tried it with Hacknoid game.

That's no surprise, because the Presenter LCD panel is not compatible with stereo refresh rates and was never claimed to be.

yeah, but it expected little bit more
i also tried hacknoid recently with octane/v6 and it was similar image on the lcd, sort of half split screen
so i am not sure if there is some special display configuration in display config required and what monitors can be used for stereo?

The monitors compatible with stereo are all listed on Reputable Systems' accurate monitor database.
The older ones (particularly the "Single Sync" models) display the same number of lines at the same H.frequency whether or not stereo is used. Stereo mode simply inserts a vertical retrace in the middle of each frame, which is why you see a "sort of half split screen" on incompatible monitors. This is called STR_RECT, STR_TOP, or STR_BOT mode. The pixel aspect ratio is stretched because pictures of 1280x492 pixels are being displayed on a nominally 1280x1024 screen.
Newer multisync displays that support higher Horizontal sync rates can use the so-called "quad buffer" graphics modes that keep square pixels. Octane supports 1024x768_96s and some others: you can see them all using setmon(1M) or the Display Preferences panel.
