I purchased the Terminator 3D glasses (i-glasses.com) and am trying to run them on my Mac G3 with the VooDoo5500 PCI card. But the drivers for the dongle are Win95/98 only. This sucks. I need to get a port or something to enable the systm to work on my mac. Would another generic driver work, or is the entire system controlled by the Dongle? I'm new to the 3D glasses thing, but I saw them at a computer show and had to get them. So, Im thinking, if I can get the source code for the WinDrivers, I could write a port for the mac in C++ or something, perhaps it would be less trouble to just buy a PC machine for gaming? Someone help me out here, I play Quake3 about 30 hours a week and I want my frickin 3D ;) | ||

Well, mac's aren't my true forté, however, I'll try to help... unfortunately, the drivers need to be there. That, or a wrapper that will force your mac's display to generate two images, one for each eye. The hardware itself doesn't do this, only software can. Try an application with native shutterglass support on your Mac, and if the glasses work, then you can just try to locate someone willing to code a driver. Another option, why not have your mac emulate a windows PC (use an app like Virtual PC), and load the drivers into the PC version of quake. You'll probably experience a good degree of slowdown, but it should work. In either case, I found a mac-compatible LCD unit at this link: http://www.3dist.com/vr/elcd.html If you can fint the manufacturer's site, and grab the drivers somehow, maybe those will work. Or, just buy a new rig, and sell the old one to a friend with a PC. -Eric L | ||

I found something better for you! check out: http://www.formac.com/2k/products/product_frame.html they have some glasses that will do what you want them to. Also, I bet if you use the drivers for their ProCyber 3D wired glasses (which suspiciously look like the Wicked3d glasses!) that may work with your setup. Go to the support section, they may have the drivers there for download. If that doesn't work, I don't know what will! -Eric L. | ||

Hi Chris (if you are reading this), A friend of mine from Hungary is asking: does the Mac OS X allows 3d glasses? I have no idea. It looks as if in 2004 that was a negative. Is it still that way? Gabor |
