• Support Image is good quality and appears to have decent EV. Being completely clueless as to what the device does, I may change my vote if others don't feel the way the device is portrayed in the image does not hold much EV. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 23:40, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Ah, so its a pair of 3D glasses... Guess its ok. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 23:44, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

• Weak support image is of good quality and its function is obvious to me -- the right eye looks through the right lens at the right circle; the left eye looks through the left lens at the left circle. The pictures in the two circles are slightly different so as to produce the illusion of depth. However, my support is weak because of some dust spots around the photo; soft focus on the cardboard with the circles (which can be fixed with appropriate use of focus stacking), and overall rather mediocre resolution (height does not meet the 1500px minimum for FPC). dllu (t,c) 23:45, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
