I've decided to get the InFocus DepthQ projector, but don't know which glasses to get. I read here that a stereo-reverse switch is required but that nVidia drivers don't have one. I have dual nVidia GeForce 6800s. Does that mean I have to make sure that I get glasses with a stereo-reverse switch? If so, how do I know which glasses have that switch before I buy them? Thanks and thanks for all the great info you've posted! It's very helpful. | ||

At least one shutter glasses manufacturer, NuVision, sells an IR emitter (for its wireless model 60GX shutter glasses) that has a reverse polarity switch on the emitter control (model 60GX-NSR). I'm not aware of any shutter glasses that have a built-in reverse switch on the glasses themselves. (If other forum members are aware of any, please post this information.) | ||

E-dimensional company is redistributing on USA market an electronic device devloped by us (GALI-3D) making the switching possible in HW. For profesional usage the NuVison 60 GX glasses with eye switch on the IR emmitor are a good choice as well. For non-game usage on Quadro cards the switch can be easy done in the card drivers in software ... | ||

Unlike profesional-level graphics cards (Quadro cards, etc.) which have a mini-DIN stereo synch port, the GeForce 6800 series cards don't have a direct port for shutter glasses. So any shutter glasses will have to be connected to the 6800 card via a VGA dongle. M.H. is correct. His Gali-3D reverse polarity switching device could be connected to the DIN port on the VGA dongle, and then a cheap comsumer-level IR emitter (such as the one that comes with eDimensional's wireless glasses) could be plugged into the Gali-3D unit. The combined cost of the eDimensional wireless glasses/IR emitter package and the Gali-3D device would probably be considerably cheaper than the high-priced NuVision professional glasses products. (The NuVision glasses and wide-angle emitter are better quality if you can afford to spend the extra $$ for them.) | ||

Michal will the Gali-3d switch from E-Dimensional work with H3D VGA Dongle? | ||

pheggie: I do not know whatver the H3D VGA dongle has the standard miniDIN-3 conenctor for conenction with IR emmiter. If it has this connector it will work. | ||

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the CrystalEyes3. Any thoughts on that? | ||

Great choice! Stereographics' CrystalEyes3 are probably the best shutter glasses on the market (wide LC lenses, good shielding from ambient light, padded nose piece) but are rarely used by non-professionals because they're so expensive. The NuVision 60 GX glasses, which cost about half as much as the CE3, are almost as good. Both brands come with a wide-angle IR emitter that works well with the InFocus DepthQ projector for small audiences. | ||

I just ordered the Nuvision glasses and the projector. The guy I talked to at Lightspeed said he thinks the glasses are just as good as the Crystaleyes. Anyway, can't wait to get my stuff and check it out. Even tho I will probably have to move a bunch of stuff around... | ||

Why would you not get the eDimensional glasses? They are as good or better quality at a fraction of the price. They work perfectly with the DepthQ. | ||

Anony, Have you actually worn all three shutter glasses brands discussed here? Saying that consumer-level glasses like eDimensional are equal to professional models like NuVision and CrystalEyes is like saying that a Volkswagen is the same as a Cadillac. Compared to the professional models, the eDimensional glasses have more fragile frames, less comfortable non-padded nose pieces, smaller LC lenses, and no shielding from ambient light. In practical terms, this means that the eDimensional glasses are less comfortable for prolonged wear and have intermittent ghosting with the DepthQ projector due to ambient light leakage. (I'm not saying that the eDimensional glasses aren't adequate for the price, but they AREN'T equal to the "luxury" models.) | ||

Michal the H3D dongle has 3 wires to the minidin +5V, Ground, and a line with serial data sent on it to switch the H3D LCD glasses. Is this likely to work with the G3D Eyeswitcher. | ||

Hi Pheggie, et al - From the voltages you describe on the H3D miniDin the http://3DFlightSim.com Stereo Projection Converter should work on the system. It swaps the left/right views for eDimensional glasses for beamers. It's available now. | ||

E-D's program works just fine. I had the same problem but solved it with their R3D controller. |
