Is it possible to play games in 3-D on a Macintosh, with shutterglasses or an HMD? Are there drivers you can download to do this or special hardware necessary? Thanks for any info you may have. |

Yes. Formac Electronics makes the Permedia-based ProFormance line of 3D graphics cards. which support a range of shutter and refraction-based solutions. namely their own special shutter glasses and the Crystal Eyes Z-Screen refractive screen overlay(Which uses cardboard glasses). Here is a review of the ProFormance III 16MB: "Proformance 3 Review" http://xlr8yourmac.com/Graphics/Proformance3/index4.html The fastest version released was the ProFormance III+ 32MB. a 66Mhz, 32-bit PCI card which performs about on par with a Rage 128 Pro.

Crystal Eyes Z-Screen refractive screen overlay(Which uses cardboard glasses)! The Crystal Eyes Z-Screen polarizing screen is sold with a pair off plastic polarized glasses ,if you want cardboard glasses you have to buy them separatly. |

Thanks for the info. This may be a stupid question, but how does one get the Mac to output field sequential images to the monitor with the Crystal Eyes Z-Screen? I have shutterglasses (which I use for watching 3-D movies) as well as the old 3-D i-glasses, but I cannot find any drivers or anything that will allow the Mac to output FS 3-D. |
