What a time to be alive
Raven2311
LG make them for Thier 3d TVs. One players screen is set to one viewing angle of the 3d and the other player to the other. It's shit to play

My tv and some ps3 games do this. It has to be a 3d tv. Polarized lenses use the dual image of 3d to make a 1p screen and a 2p screen.
PigeonCrack
WHY AREN'T WE FUNDING THIS!?
iamlegendinjapan
Because it was before its time. It was a feature on the ps3

back in Nov 2011 sony released PlayStation 3D display for ps3 with the same function and works for xbox as well.

NOW you're thinking with portals!

They has a racing game like that for a while now. Both player have a full screen

Polarisation is still amazing to me.

So if i sat on the right of that tv, I'd see the red glasses screen.
MersopolisII
But, how does the TV do both at the same time?
kellytheunicorn
Polarization
MersopolisII
But how?
behrditz
its a 3d tv. Instead of making two offset images that merge, it makes two different images, and each pair of glasses blocks one
kellytheunicorn
Read the above thread of someone that asked the exact same question.
SilverNicktail
This is a feature of LG HDTVs and it's been around for quite some time. My TV can do it, though I've honestly never had need to do it.

You can make this yourself super easily... as long as you have a 3dtv

Tell me about it
80sPineapple
Does that mean we'll one day be free from split-screen multi ? :')
Jucorp
We are already free from split screen ... Rip you will be missed
behrditz
no, because 3d televisions are dead.
80sPineapple
Shit.
TheBestThingOnCHIVEwheneverIFeelLikeIt
This makes split screen a thing of the past! So awesome!
Hetuni
There is just one problem... One of those is literally just a normal pair of glasses, if you looki n the background.
TheAuthorOfTheJournalsMyBrother
Not if you look better
Hetuni
I'm meaning effectively one.
theyar
Kind of. Brightness and/or framerate gets halved.
ScottT45
But the top of the red glasses view is actually on the screen. And the bottom of the yellow glasses view is actually on the screen... WHAT?

I'm glad I'm not the only one freaking out

Good catch! I think some clever (not clever enough) editing was used.

Nope. Just polarized light.
TheMagicalMushroom
Nah, it's eye portals
Oxythief
Exactly magic.
LowkeytheThiccsterGod
My whole job is polarized light. It's neat when it goes full-on acid trip rainbow colors instead of just lighter and darker.
Dramacian
I wish i had this tech for MicroMachines V3 (up to 8 players)
Arrrrgggggghhhh
But didn't everyone play on the same screen in V3? Like that was how it was designed not split screen.
Dramacian
You are correct. Yes, in fact it was the very aim of the game. But as soon as you were out of the screen, you were dead, no coming back.
Septcanmat
It's limited to two images. It uses polarized light which has to be completely orthogonal or else you get overlap in the images.
GGumby
not entirely you just need 30 times x number of players in frame rate if you want to get minimal then just have the right glasses.
Dramacian
Let me dream of the past with future present possibilities ! :)
Standemonium
Made a pair of those out of 3D theater glasses. Too bad I'm dead inside and don't have any friends! :) ...... :(

Room for one more?

so what we playing? I got a lot of stuff on steam

*awkward silence* for real though, my steam name is Standemonium!! For anyone interested.

How tho??

Numbing
Yeah no you fucking can't. LG and Sony TVs have been able to do this for years.
MissingImage
its a 120 Hz screen, players screens are alternately polarized and interlaced.
ooooweeee
I had this on my PS3 3D tv back in the day...

so... 3-4 years ago? :-P

Polarized 3D glasses
Noevilgifs
polarized lenses polarized in vertical and horizontal
Memes4Cheap
polarization
theyar
It's a 3DTV, reprogrammed to show two sources at the same time. So instead of glasses with two different lenses, each players wears 1/2
theyar
different glasses but with two same lenses. 2/2
Maevellous
Well, light is an electromagnetic wave. Without getting to complex this means it has a direction of travel, and an angle of orientation 1/?
Maevellous
Standard light, like from the sun its lots of waves travelling together, this is called a photon packet. It has an orientation of 'yes' 1/?
Maevellous
But what is cool is you can filter out a desired orientation using a polarized lens. (like the sunglasses, next time you see a pair 3/?
Maevellous
turn them 90 degrees in the vertical while looking through them) Its also possible to make light in a certain orientation. 4/?
Maevellous
So, how does the tv work? well they generate two images, with 90 degrees difference between the phases, and then use polarized lenses 5/?
Septcanmat
More specifically, the tv screen produces orthogonally polarized light. The lenses only allow light of specific polarizations through.
CaptainScarfish
ELI5: Some of the TV light is side to side. Some of the light is up and down. The red glasses only see side to side, and yellow up and down.
CptBlackKawk
Wouldn't you be able to see the other screen if you turn the glasses sideways?
Z0neX9
SapphicCatgirl
Magic.
Brick20000
Each pixel outputs horizontal light and vertical light, each of the glasses block out the other type of light, boom 2 Images from 1 tv
OurLordLucifer
Polarization is the answer, but horizontal and vertical rotations is no longer the way this is achieved.
Brick20000
I know, but this is the simple physics way of explaining it
OurLordLucifer
Ya, but I'm an asshole
Brick20000
Fair enough
SilverNicktail
This is a thing LG TVs do - mine can do it. Basically, instead of outputting left and right 3D images, it outputs one channel on each.
Matt420itsmybirthdayimnotapothead
Yupp dual play on pretty much all 3d lg tvs.
kellytheunicorn
I'm assuming it used the same idea as 3D glasses
lurkingdoubt
Why tho??
CarlThatKillsPeople
2 players, both have full screen now instead of split screen
Standemonium
I'll sound like a fool trying to explain. But 3dtvs see two images and signals at once (creating the 3d effect) the co op glasses (1/?)
Standemonium
Are just one signal per pair of glasses. So it stretches each split screen and sets it to one signal for each pair to see sperately.
HappyJello
That's a pretty good explanation. No fool here
kellytheunicorn
That's right! Instead of one imagine going to one lens on one pair of glasses, the single image goes to 2 lens on the same pair of glasses.
KingGlipGlop
No. You obviously control the matrix.
IamIsPotato
Yea, or simply put, polarization
Standemonium
^ that. I love my 3dtv
BeTheHammer
Ahh one lens sees one picture and the other sees the other picture normally making 3D but here it's just two perspectives. Very clever
kellytheunicorn
Right, so this person popped out the lens so that one pair of glasses sees one image while the other pair sees a different image
BeTheHammer
Exactly. Quite brilliant but exactly how the lens works I have no idea
xj4low
High refresh rate with glasses sync'ed to evens and other to odd. Maybe 2 different video processors and tv pumping a frame from each.
InvadingYourSpaces
PS3 and PS4 (Not sure about XBox) support 3D screen splitting on native 3D TVs.
