I'm trying to write a program using DirectX and I-Art glasses to display a cube in front of the monitor. I've got the cube spinning under mouse control, now how do I get it in 3D? I'm using Wicked 3D driver and I-Art says theres no Software Developement Kit for it. There is for Win3D. Should I install Win3D (will that screw up I-Art glasees?) and use they're calls to create the second image and display the pair? When I run my cube program, I expected the glasses to go on automatticaly, like a Direct X game, but they didn't. |

WINx3D does not intercept the DX calls, like the nVidia drivers do. To use WINx3D, an application must directly call the WINx3D functions. WINx3D should not screw up your I-Art glasses. It should, in fact, make them work correctly in stereo with your application. |

Yeah, I have the Win3D SDK, so I'll install Win3D and put the calls in my code. Do you know what VrCaddy is and does? |

VRCaddy is a DirectX/D3D wrapper. These types of wrappers intercept the D3D commands to construct a scene. From this information, the wrappers will then construct two scenes - one for each eye's view. After the two scenes are constructed, VRCaddy then calls WINx3D to manage the page-flipping. |
