openKMQ Kit for any 2D LCD screens

Again: You can either download the laser cutting vector files or order a precut kit from my website.





openKMQ proudly presents : iPad 3-D

Okay, anyone with a KMQ prism viewer can use any LCD in portrait mode to view full color 3-D, but as the viewing distance (the sweet spot) is important, I decided to design a comfortable stand for my Apple iPad. Like all other kits it's laser cut, but it's the first kit made of HDF (high density wood fibre) . Visit my website for more pictures and to download the vector files.
You may also order a precut kit, if you don't know a laser cutting service nearby.
On the other hand, if you know one, feel free to become a kit provider yourself.
I've prepared some 3-D movies to watch on this baby. The trailers for Avatar/Shrek4/Tangled were downloaded from 3D Vision Blog and I used the compositing app eyeon FUSION to produce the over/under layout (right on top).

Over/Under aka KMQ compatible web videos

Dr. Peter Quick recently kindly provided PDF documentations how to create 3-D videos in Adobe Flash CS3 that can be viewed with the KMQ prism viewer.
Download the english or german PDF from the projects web site.

Advanced Design - "one-size-fits-all-heads"



The first openKMQ design was sized for big adult heads and flexo bands could be used to make it fit smaller heads. The next step was to provide 3 different sizes with every kit.

Now a single layout has 8 slits to place the KMQ prism viewer in.

The new design will soon be available for free download as EPS/SVG for laser cutting or in my online shop as precut kit

New DIY Kits for download and to buy

The Kit1/2 packages I designed last year came with laser cutting layouts to produce three different sizes, but the sold kits were shipped with the biggest (one-size-fits-all).
The download area now also has a kit1b and kit2b with three sizes and the kit2b extends kit2 by a second WiiCage. You can now place your WiiRemote on top of your LCD or on your desk.
The shop also brings the new (b) versions with washable foam strips for the optional head rest fixtures.

Alternative over/under viewing device

Mathew Orman from polish/american Tyrell Innovations Inc. has designed and markets a viewing device that uses adjustable first surface mirrors.
This overcomes two flaws of the KMQ viewer : its fixed spreading angle and its prismatic effect.
