3D Vision (previously GeForce 3D Vision) is a stereoscopic gaming kit from Nvidia which consists

of LC shutter glasses and driver software which enables stereoscopic vision for any Direct3D game, with various degrees of compatibility.

There have been many examples of shutter glasses over the past decade,

but the NVIDIA 3D Vision gaming kit introduced in 2008 introduced this technology to mainstream consumers

and PC gamers.

The kit is compatible with high-end CRT monitors, which typically support display modes up to 1024×768

with 100 Hz refresh rate, and specially designed 120 Hz LCD monitors from ViewSonic, Samsung, and recently

Reach out and annihilate the competition with the Alienware OptXTM  AW2310 23" 120Hz, 3D Full HD widescreen monitor’s mind-blowing 3D capabilities. Watch your screen come to life with NVIDIA®  3D VisionTM  technology, delivering intense stereoscopic 3D effects on hundreds of new games and movie titles.

Power up your 3D experience with the NVIDIATM  3D VisionTM  Kit3, compatible NVIDIA®  Graphics Card3 and Windows®  Vista or Windows®  73.

nvidia 942-10701-0003-004 3D Vision Wireless Glasses Kit

NVIDIA GEFORCE 3D STEREO...

Shutter glasses

The glasses use wireless IR protocol and can be charged from a USB cable,

allowing around 20 hours of continuous use.

The wireless emitter connects to the USB port and interfaces with the underlying driver software.

It also contains a VESA Stereo port for connecting supported DLP TV sets, although standalone

operation without a PC with installed Nvidia 3D Vision driver is not allowed.

NVIDIA includes one pair of shutter glasses in their 3D Vision kit, SKU 942-10701-0003.

Each lens operates at 60Hz, and alternate to create a 120Hz 3-dimensional experience.

This version of 3D Vision supports select 120 Hz monitors, 720p DLP projectors,

and passive-polarized displays from Zalman.

Stereo driver

The stereo driver software can perform automatic stereoscopic conversion by using the 3D models

submitted by the application and rendering two stereoscopic views instead of the standard mono view.

The automatic driver works in two modes: fully "automatic" mode, where 3D Vision driver controls

screen depth (convergence) and stereo separation, and "explicit" mode, where control over screen depth,

separation, and textures is performed by the game developer with the use of proprietary NVAPI.

The quad-buffered mode allows developers to control the rendering, avoiding the automatic mode

of the driver and just presenting the rendered stereo picture to left and right frame buffers

with associated back buffers.

Minimum system requirements

• Microsoft® Windows® Vista 32/64-bit or Windows 7 32/64-bit
• Intel® Core™2 Duo or AMD Athlon™ X2 CPU or higher
• 1GB of system memory. (2GB is recommended)
• 100 MB free disk space

Hi there,

I just bought a Dell inspiron 17R with 3D. It came with one pair of NVIDIA 3D glasses which works properly during the Enable stereoscopic 3D "Run Setup Wizard" (NVIDIA 3D Images slide show). I have a 3D movie that I rendered few years ago using the open source "Blender" whereby I wrote a Python script that generated an extra camera in Blender such that images can be rendered from the Left Camera then the Right Camera. This movie worked correctly on the 3D TV but while playing it on my Dell Laptop (after installing "NVIDIA 3D Vision Video Player" from NVIDIA Website), I can see the Red and Blue 3D effect/shadow without wearing the 3D glasses. Using a 3D glasses, I can't see the 3d depth! also I notice that the 3D LED on the Dell Laptop doesn't go ON as usual! Can anybody advise on how to visualize a 3D movie on  Dell inspiron 17R?

 

Also I bought an extra pair of 3D glasses (Acer, model: E1b) and it does not work at all!! any help on how to use a 3D glasses (Acer, model: E1b) with  Dell inspiron 17R??

 

Thank you in advance,

Nganpet.
