Hello!

I'm a student who wants to add a real-3D option on a meshing software.
I'm looking onto 2 goggles to test my development:
-E-Dimensional (~100$)
-NuVision 60GX (~550$)

What the difference between them?
It seems that E-D is mainly used for games, maybe it won't works on professional soft whereas 60GX will?

Some help please!

Advantages of NuVision 60 GX:
- Din-3 connector compatiblity with all profesional OpenGL graphic cards
- better fiedl of view (bigger glasses)
- better ambient light shiedling
- better pass through of light through the LCD pannels
- mechanicaly more realibale
- I use 4 of them for 6 years and they still work :-)
- comfortable montage

If you want to test the technology and occasionaly play games buy E-Dimesnional.
They will work with pro apllication as well (only on nVidi cards) ...

If you need to work in stereo several hours daily during software development or stereo-video editing as I do buy NuVision 60 GX.

Thanks for your answer!

Another question: what's the use of Din-3 connector? ("arg! another newbie! :) ")
Does it simply sync goggles with screen?

DIN-3 connector is the most reliable method how to sync. glasse with monitor. It prevents especialy left/right eye mis-switch with can occure with some older connector syncing only to monitor signal ...

E-dimensional glasses can sync to so coled VGA-12 pin. This method works O.K. for games and can corectly stabilize the L/R eye.

Profesional graphic cards (nVidia Quadro, ATI FireGL) use usualy the DIN-3 connector ...

hey, don't be a idiot and buy from another OEM reseller like edimensional, you can get the same wireless glasses from x3dshop.com for just 30$..

Yes, it seems to be the same glasses, but what about the package? Is the sync as good as E-D?

I'm leaving in France, so I wonder if it's really a good affair because I should pay shipment from US whereas E-D ship from UK. Finally the difference must be just a few $.

Hum... of course, you had to understand "living" on the previous post. Not really awake! :)

I took this advice on the x3dshop glasses only to find that the 30 dollar package isn't all the hardware I need (ie, I have nothing to plug the glasses into).

Am I missing something or did I just fall for moronic advice?

> "ie, I have nothing to plug the glasses into"

The three pin "DIN-3" plug that looks like a ps/2 mouse or keyboard connector from the outside fits directly to professional graphics cards like better / most nVidia Quadros & ATI FireGL.

I cannot tell purely from the pictures and text at x3dshop, but perhaps one of their slightly more expensive packages (gaming or watch 3d TV bundles ...) includes a dongle or Y splitter that goes inline with your monitor cable. Such would offer a little receptacle like those on Quadros and FireGLs for the DIN-3 IR emitter plug as a third wire dangling off the side of the monitor cable.
