i would assume that many of you already use 3d shutterglasses for your pc games?
if you are not and you have a nVidia gfx card, i would strongly urge you to buy them. they should cost you approx 50$ and the effects are amazing.
imagine the grass and leaves from bushes seemingly covering your weapon and coming out to you in FarCry...
wonder at the idea of seeing the actual curving of a hammock in Dungeon Siege 2...
gasp at man hacks as you believe that they would fly past your head in half-life2...
swoon at the increased sensation of speed as you take Eau Rouge at full belt due to the track side detail actually feeling like you are going past it in F1 CC
nVidia have released some new stereo drivers recently (start of september) and for taking the hassle out of tweaking the games, there is this site:
http://stereo.gsoftware.se/
which has been created by a group of 3d stereo fans. the site has a collection of profiles for the more popular 3d games.
although most games work out of the box. in fact, nearly anything that is in 3d works.
those are the pros... now for the cons.
1, although the effect is in full colour, you are still playing while wearing a pair of sunglasses (not really, but the lenses are slightly opauge) so there is a brightness issue, which can be solved by turning up the gamma. the colours will be a bit muted too... but its a small price to pay.
2, the glasses themselves. i have yet to suffer eyestrain, but my head gets tired from wearing them, too much weight in the front and no counter balance means they keep wanting to slip down. constant adjustment (in my case) is needed.
although a simple elastic band solved the problem.
3, you look like a knobber. quite simply. dont let your wife see you, she WILL laugh at you.
i would rate the edem glasses a wonderful 9/10.
its impossible to go back to standard display now.
