My main complaint in using (much cheaper) 3D shutter glasses is that half the brightness is gone once you go 3D. Kinda like putting on sun glasses and sitting in front of your monitor. You end up turning up the contrast and washing out the pic. With a new 3d HMD how does this compare in 3D mode to shutters? Since "in store" demos are nearly impossible to get for this exotic stuff. I don't want to spend 8 times more for the same effect. Any comparisons or opinions would help. | ||

HMD's don't suffer from the effect that you are refering to because each eye has it's own screen. | ||

Shutter glasses have that darn ghosting problem too, which has always bothered me. Stereo capable HMDs don't, plus they're definitely brighter, but with them you have to deal with other issues like lower rez and higher cost, plus ergonomic problems like weight (although shutter glasses can be uncomfortable too). The added HMD bonus is the possibility for head tracking. Current HMDs are an improvement in all these areas, but they're still not quite at that "crossover" point yet. I actually saw the "no glasses" Sharp 3D LCD screen with my own eyes and it looks promising, but who knows how much that will finally cost or when it will finally be available. |
