doctorclu Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 270722145550 Never seen this before. Anyone here know much about it? Neither have I. Fascinating!! Therapy programs on cartridge. I tell you, when I was in Dal-Ace (Dallas Atari group in the 80's) there were a lot of wild hardware add-ons and software business ideas that people were advertising and demonstrating. This reminds me of some of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fibrewire Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 270722145550 Never seen this before. Anyone here know much about it? An Atari 800 microprocessor with a color television monitor was used to produce red-green anaglyphs. These computer produced anaglyphs allow for rapid manipulation of vergence stimuli which allow the doctor greater control in diagnosis and therapy of binocular anomalies. Additionally, computer controlled stimuli allow for animation, and delivery of reinforcing aspects. The present paper describes a system in use. AKA people would wear red/blue 3D lens and watch patterns on a tv generated by the Atari http://www.computerorthoptics.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update on it's use. amazes me that we still see little known stuff popping up all these years later. I was watching this item and the seller ended the auction as "not available" then relisted and sold for $300. I'm disappointed because I never even got a chance to place a bid How can this be allowed...looks like it had several bids already???

+orpheuswaking Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Unfortunately Ebay will do nothing, I've had this happen multiple times on various Atari items. Sad, but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari-passion Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hello, the bad winner is zorroxtreme for this auction on ebay A+ Arnaud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) I don't think it's a violation, unless he did a deal outside of Ebay. Since he listed it at a huge price and it sold, and Ebay got their huge Final Value Fee, they're just pleased as punch about this. As a matter of fact, they'd like it if everybody increased the price of their item x6 and relisted to an immediate sale, wouldn't they?

svenski Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 And so a dark shadow was cast upon the land and Atarians everywhere were forced to abandon all hope and prey to the gods for a new hero to emerge from the darkness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
