I was just wondering with all the talk of the Z800, are the I-Glasses still a good option if you don't want tracking or if you want to buy a third party tracker like the track-ir or gyro-mouse or something else. The I-glasses can scale the Rez. up and down which is a good thing but what is the display like side to side to the z800 ? Can someone that has tried both Z800 and I-glasses post about how the I-glasses picture quality rates to the Z800. Thanks | ||

I have NOT tried the i-glasses, but I read their specs and compared them with the Z800's. I'll post the comparison here. PRICE i-glasses: $1,199 Z800: $899 NATIVE RESOLUTION i-glasses: 800*600 Z800: 800*600 RESOLUTION SCALABILITY i-glasses: YES Z800: NO FOV i-glasses: 26° diagonal Z800: 40° diagonal REFRESH RATE i-glasses: 100 Hz Z800: 60 Hz AUDIO i-glasses: ear pads (they go OVER your ears) Z800: ear buds (they go INTO your ears) HEAD TRACKING i-glasses: NO Z800: YES (2 degrees of freedom) BRIGHTNESS i-glasses: fixed Z800: 4 selectable levels of brightness Ponder over the specs and decide for yourself what feature is more important for you... | ||

Let me ask. Has anyone tried both to see if the Z800 really has a wider view area? I am looking for a real answer and not more Z800 marketing hype. | ||

The z800 has a much wider field of view. The z800 also has adjustable lenses left/right vga pass through so you can still use your monitor built in mic much lighter usb powered | ||

Z800 is 6 degrees of freedom if you get native support through use of the SDK. Unfortunately not a single piece of software has native support. So at the present time you're stuck with mouse emulation, which only first person shooters universally support. Only about half my flight sims have that. One (X-Plane) won't run in 800x600. Another (Janes F-15) only runs in 640x480. And half the time the mouse emulator conks out and the software has to be reinstalled. Only three flight sims I own work at all with it: WWII Fighters, Flanker 2.51, and Lockon. Total Air War, MSFS2000, and Longbow 2 don't have mouseviewer. That's pretty sucky support. The tracking with emulation is so so. The unit was obviously designed for native SDK tracking with both motion and orientation data in use, but that hasn't happened at all yet. A community of modders needs to start getting together adding SDK native support on a variety of titles, as happened with TrackIR. | ||

Hi, for use with FS 2004 is usefull Active Camera - mouse view control. Very good is Condor Soaring simulator with native mouse view support. (www.condorsoaring.com). | ||

Ok.. now to the serious part, What steps need to be taken to accomplish this: 1) Playback of 3D movies from DVD on both systems. 2) each claim flicker free 3d - whose is better? or are they both the same? Thanks and regards Clyde |
