Hi guys, I originally purchased a VFX1 headset - but the novelty wore off as I wanted to get more Windows based games working in 3d - not just DOS games. As a compromise I purchased the Terminator H3D shutter glassses which are fantastic. I can get most windows direct 3d games working in stereoscopic mode. Now the next step is to get the stereoscopic effect on a big screen. I originally thought of a projector - but they are too expensive. So here is what I want to do (but I need your thoughts/assistence please!). I have looked on mindflux.com.au at some of the HMD's - specifically the IO-display systems - i-glasses monocular. The website indicates that this model does not support 3d - does that mean there is no way I can get games to work in the same fashion that I can my shutter glasses? According to mindflux, the only HMD's that support stereo 3d are in excess of AUD $3,000. I guess I don't really want to shell out money on the monocular version if it wont play games in 3d. Finally - can I conclude that if I was to purchase the monocular version - the only thing it would be good for is 'being a portable, nice sized screen' - but wouldn't support 3d?.... Thanks in advance for your held guys..... Moncarda |

Nah, you can get a pair of I-Glasses SVGA 3D for just over $600 dollars. It will play all the same games with great stereo effect. If you're interested in a pair then head over to http://www.vrealities.com/igsvga.html |
