Hi, I have to develop a 3D driving simulation. I would like to add the third dimension and/or the immersion feeling, and I really need to have a good display quality. I'd like to find something around 1000 USD. All what I read here seems to say that none of the VR helmets is good enough... Could you give me some advice? And 2D devices like Sony Glasstron or Olympus Eye-trek are they providing a good display quality, compared to a normal CRT screen? Thank you Alex Cranfield University UK | ||

The hi-res version of the glasstron is very good, There is even a 3d version, but they are expensive. If you make a driving sim. please add headtracking too, Almost no other car sim has it. Maarten | ||

Do you know where I can find some info about Glasstron's 3D capabilities? I haven't found anything about this. Thanks Alex | ||

try mindflux.com.au They have a link to a brochure and they sell the plm s700 | ||

My Opinion....Get the best Force Feedback controller (wheel) that will be the best element of your simulation. Tactile feedback for user would be good too. Headtracking?? Well would be cool but test out the games that have smooth yaw viewing (not sure of any off hand) before you invest in a headtracker. I think stereoscopic 3D in a car simulation is more important than immersion. Both is cool for sure but you have to weigh out your budget. Email me if you want to brain strom some ideas? I love it!!! | ||

The Cy-visor is 800*600 and $1200. http://www.personaldisplay.com/display_headset.html | ||

Is the Cy-visor available? Is it stereoscopic? Where can I get one? | ||

The Cy-visor is not stereoscopic, and I don't even know if it's available yet. They recently said they were supposed to be shipping X-thousand just-produced units, but I think they've been saying that for months if not years. The Cy-visor I demo'ed last summer didn't impress me all that much. The housing was plasticky-cheap and although the displays themselves looked bright & sharp, I saw a white band of pixels to the edge of one eye, the FOV was the same old low "around 30 degrees," and the optics and IPD-adjustment struck me as cheap too. The HMD market continues to be a disappointment since Sony dropped out... :-( P.S. - Daeyang's website isn't even accurate. They claim their microdisplays are 1.44 million pixel reflective... but if you study how LCoS displays work, you realize that the color is not accomplished via RGB triads, but "sequentially," i.e., bouncing red, green, then blue light off a monocromatic display so quickly that no flashing is discernable so all colors flow together. A mono, reflective 800x600 pixel display is 480,000 dots. Sony's SVGA HMD used transmissive displays, hence RGB triads, hence theirs was 1.44 million dots. Unfortunately, Daeyang lifted their data sheet straight from Sony's! | ||

Ehe, interesting note there, TJ. Still this is the only site i've found that contains some information uncolored by the greedy market.. Also, alex mentioned about glastron 3d capabilities.. after searching for awhile i came across a site you might find interesting if you go with th lower Q glasstrons (the more expensive ones do have stereo i think). http://www.cc.gatech.edu/ccg/resources/glasstron/ It has information on converting a monoscopic glasstron to stereo and has lots of pictures of the glasstron's blood and guts. Probably a little tech for me to do on a $600 or so piece of hardware but if you're capable... Rob | ||

vfx3d is an all in one solution. HMD with tracker for about $1,800.00. The resolution is lower though 640*480. The other option is one of the other pairs mentioned here with an intersence tracker +700 - $800 $ extra. | ||

(err i confused my links. The link i gave is a way to convert glasstrons to "augumented reality" devices which is a fancy dancy term for viewing a virtual image with one eye and the real world with another. The details may still be of interest for anyone into modifying the glasses. Now if i can just find the link on converting the glasses to stereo..) |
