Hello! I'm a student who wants to add a real-3D option on a meshing software. I'm looking onto 2 goggles to test my development: -E-Dimensional (~100$) -NuVision 60GX (~550$) What the difference between them? It seems that E-D is mainly used for games, maybe it won't works on professional soft whereas 60GX will? Some help please! Guillaume |

Advantages of NuVision 60 GX: - Din-3 connector compatiblity with all profesional OpenGL graphic cards - better fiedl of view (bigger glasses) - better ambient light shiedling - better pass through of light through the LCD pannels - mechanicaly more realibale - I use 4 of them for 6 years and they still work :-) - comfortable montage If you want to test the technology and occasionaly play games buy E-Dimesnional. They will work with pro apllication as well (only on nVidi cards) ... If you need to work in stereo several hours daily during software development or stereo-video editing as I do buy NuVision 60 GX. |

Thanks for your answer! Another question: what's the use of Din-3 connector? ("arg! another newbie! ") Does it simply sync goggles with screen? |

DIN-3 connector is the most reliable method how to sync. glasse with monitor. It prevents especialy left/right eye mis-switch with can occure with some older connector syncing only to monitor signal ... E-dimensional glasses can sync to so coled VGA-12 pin. This method works O.K. for games and can corectly stabilize the L/R eye. Profesional graphic cards (nVidia Quadro, ATI FireGL) use usualy the DIN-3 connector ... |

hey, don't be a idiot and buy from another OEM reseller like edimensional, you can get the same wireless glasses from x3dshop.com for just 30$.. |

Yes, it seems to be the same glasses, but what about the package? Is the sync as good as E-D? I'm leaving in France, so I wonder if it's really a good affair because I should pay shipment from US whereas E-D ship from UK. Finally the difference must be just a few $. |

Hum... of course, you had to understand "living" on the previous post. Not really awake! |

..the differnce is ~70$!!! and there is no reason to use the edimensional driver because the one from nvidia is much better! |

I took this advice on the x3dshop glasses only to find that the 30 dollar package isn't all the hardware I need (ie, I have nothing to plug the glasses into). Am I missing something or did I just fall for moronic advice? |

> "ie, I have nothing to plug the glasses into" The three pin "DIN-3" plug that looks like a ps/2 mouse or keyboard connector from the outside fits directly to professional graphics cards like better / most nVidia Quadros & ATI FireGL. I cannot tell purely from the pictures and text at x3dshop, but perhaps one of their slightly more expensive packages (gaming or watch 3d TV bundles ...) includes a dongle or Y splitter that goes inline with your monitor cable. Such would offer a little receptacle like those on Quadros and FireGLs for the DIN-3 IR emitter plug as a third wire dangling off the side of the monitor cable. |
