NVIDIA 3D Vision?

Marcus G. Daniels
Hi,

Has anyone tried NVIDIA 3D Vision?
Will I need to upgrade to a Quadro card for OpenGL?
I can live with it being Windows only.

Thanks,

Marcus

Marcus -

We are winding up to learn about the system first hand ourselves.

You only need a "contemporary" nVidia card... not a QuadBuffer such as
the Quadro... they say which cards on their site.

You will have to live with Windows Vista/7, not XP.   That is part of
what held us up this long... not wanting Vista.

We are trying to work with Creative Consultants who already have a
system in their hands... avoid buying our own gear until we know.

The sync/emitter is USB based and the system can also be used
(apparently) with the new DLP-Link projectors.  We understand there have
been some problems for some people in some circumstances with DLP.

nVidia glasses are about $150 as are the DLP-Link compatible...

Hi Steve,

Any idea what kind of intervention will be needed in application code,
esp. OpenGL?
In Java3D I'm hoping I can just call setStereoEnable against the canvas,
and then run it with
java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED?

Thanks!

Marcus
