Hello I am not into serious gaming or movies, but I'd love to try out the idea of 3D stereoscopy. What I'd really be looking for is... a version, a sourceport or a driver for any Doom-like game (Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Heretic) that would draw two images side by side to my CRT, so I could stare at them in that funny way, don't know what one should call it, for stereoscopic effet. Has this been done, and do you know an easy way to try it out? I am running linux, and I have Matrox G200 (but can put a G400 into this). Thanks | ||

"side by side" was used by VFX1. An ehample - Descent, Descent II. You can find in all the games supporting this HMD. | ||

Surely if your only messing aobut you could use the nvidia/elsa Revelator drivers with the red/green glasses? Then if you like it you could buy a pair of revelators, cheap as hell (£20-30)on ebay. Watch out for the crappy drivers tho--bluescreen ahoy  | ||

VRCaddy allows cross-eyed view. But it only works with Windows. http://www.vrcaddy.com/main.htm AFAIR, there's not much stereoscopy for Linux. Please let me know if I'm wrong here, I just started using Linux and haven't quite gotten used to things yet. Alex | ||

Alexandr: If you want to work in stereo under Linux, switch to OpenGl usage and hack your card to Quadro (in HW way) . Normal nVida drivers will work ... For other solutions have a look on this: http://stereogl.sourceforge.net/ | ||

I think that best solution for stereoscopic without any hardware is stereo monitor which creates continuous 3D image field like SmartrON: http://www.really.ru/review/smartron.html  | ||

I can't read russian. How does it work? Special screen? | ||

The stereo monitors ones i've heard of are like two monitors in one, there's some screen or filter that reflects all the light from one into your left eye and the other into your right. But you have to be within a certain distance away, not too too close or too too far. Of course, maybe not all of them work that way. However, that monitor will be useless unless you have a video card and drivers (or vrcaddy, or an app that supports stereo naturally) that allows you to view stere. | ||

I have tested that device. SmartrON not use parallax barrier like DTI stereo monitor and you should not keep your head in assigned position to see stereo. You can move head enough to feel free. SmartrON is using essentially other approach to create stereo. As result no restriction in stereo mode for separation (1024x768) ; brightness and contrast the same as in 2D mode. SmartrON use own software to use with ATI or NVIDIA video cards. Only one disadvantage - it is too expensive for most users. | ||

You can find the English version here: http://3d.neurok.com/products/index.shtml; it has also been discussed here about two years ago: http://www.stereo3d.com/discus/messages/24/709.html | ||

...and I wouldn't really call autostereoscopic displays like SmartrON 'without any hardware', btw... | ||
