Untilnowtheworldwasflat. X-Specs3D,

Burst the two-dimensional

straightjocket that imprisons

your video graphics. Enter the

full-depth, full-color world of

X-Specs 3D. The third

dimensional stereoscopic world

of human vision.

How does it work? The

X-Specs advanced high-speed

liquid crystal shutters allow

your computer to control what

each eye sees independently (at

30 frames per second). The

results are breathtaking.

Objects step out of your

computer's display and into the

room with lifelike reality. You

can add new life to

presentations, CAD, molecular

and solids modeling. You can

ploy games with more realism

than ever imaginable.

Easy installation involves

plugging interface into joystick

port and running software

included. Look for the variety

of new programs supporting

the X-Specs' Real Eyes vision.

Ask your local dealer for a

demonstration. If he doesn't

have X-Specs yet, call or write

us. We'll make sure you get a

chance to see the new world of

X-SPECS3D

C-64ond VCR interface

coming soon. Dealer 8. distrib
