Hello, guys. I need some technical help. Even with my green badge, I don't really specialise in this sort of thing.
Anyone with a 3DTV should know how Active Shutter (A/S) Glasses work (unless you have a Passive 3DTV, then you use them polarise glasses). If you do not know how A/S glasses work with the TV, click here for an explanation.
Anyway, a lot of you will know about SBS (Side-by-Side) images that you can convert into 3D. When converted, the left picture will display for the left eye and the right for the right eye. Do a lot fo you know about over and under? Works same way as SBS. When in 3D, the above picture is displayed for the left eye and the lower picture for the right eye.
Now, this is where I am trying to get at. My TV supports both the SBS and Over-under feature, and my TV can display it. So, if I play a game with my friend on the PS3, we have a splitscreen. With splitscreen, the TV will obviously look like a SBS display or Over-under display. If I put 3D mode on over-under (or SBS, depending on what type of splitscreen), then the left/above image will display player 1 on full screen for the left eye only, and the right/below image will display player 2 on full screen for the right eye only. Both of us, full screen on the same TV!
When I put my A/S glasses on and close my right eye, I can play as player 1 on full screen, whilst my mate puts another A/S glasses on, closes his left eye, and plays on the same TV with him on full screen. See where I am getting at? We've tried it, and it works perfectly. Also tried putting PAP SBS on, PS3 on the left, and Coranation street (my gf's program) on the right. When she wears earphones and we both put the glasses on closing one of our eyes, I have the PS3 full-screen and she with the program full-screen!
The problem is the glasses. We obviously don't want to keep one of our eyes closed all the way. This will give us a headache. So we want one set of glasses to make both lenses display the left image only, and the other vice-versa. That way, I can just keep the glasses on with both eyes open and only see my screen, with her vice-versa.
I took my A/S glasses apart and had a look, it's too technical with me, even with this guide (the only guide I could find). My A/S glasses are different as well (Sony branded) so the guide didn't help too much. I've tried searching the internet for anyone selling A/S glasses for left or right display only, but no luck.
My 2 questions are:
If you know the answer to Q1, post your reply here. If you can answer Q2, I will be more than happy to send the glasses to you for modifying. I will pay you to redeliver it back to me too and a fee for doing the job in the first place.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My 2 questions are:
- Do you know anywhere that sells left-only/right-only A/S glasses?
- Are you any good at modifying A/S glasses to make this happen?
