Infocus X1 Stereoscopic 3D with Sony Active Glasses?

Greetings mtbs3d
I'm a newbie but nice to be here. I just wish I'd discovered the place earlier. I've got what I think is an interesting 3D problem to solve that I need some help on/
I've just inherited 5 pairs of Sony TDG-BR250 Active 3D glasses from my parents from a 3DTV they bought but don't and will NEVER use (why they even bought that TV, I don't know because they said they were never going to use it. I told them a SmartTV would suffice but they didn't listen ) I am now trying to find a way of using them (if at all) but given I don't have a 3D TV or display of any sort (a fundamental challenge to overcome that my parents KNOW about) I'm trying to find out how I can use them.
After a lot of reading around, I've discovered that my dusty 10-year old Infocus X1 projector may be capable of stereoscopic 3D, albeit in a limited fashion (and here I was about to put it on eBay) which I discovered the link to on this forum only http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3630
I've got a decent spec'd PC and good mid-range AMD graphics card so with the glasses and "3D-capable" projector, it seems like I've got everything I need.
The problem I'm guessing is how do I sync'ing the glasses to the display. Do I need to buy or create a 3D IR emitter of some sort? Will these things work with anything but a Sony TV? Simplest solution would be to go and get a Sony 3D TV but there's no fun in that
Any learned suggestions anyone?
