I am looking for a VR solution (hardware and software), which would allow me to capture and preview given real world logement with 3D immersion visual effect (like in 3D computer game). I would also like to store the picture on a computer and perform the preview in a HMD like i-glasses PC/SVGA. I was thinking of buying nuView The Ultimate 3D Camcorder Adapter, take some pictures, save on my computer and preview through a HMD. However, I was told that the i-glasses won't allow me previewing images taken with the Camcorder and nuView Adpater. If so, can any one advise me another solution for my problem. Thanks for any help or advice! | ||

All you would need is a "Y" cable to split the video signal to the I-glasses HMD. The nuview works by taking the composite video out of the camera and plugging it into the nuview lens to give it the timing signal. So I dont see why a "composite y cable" could'nt give pass the signal to the HMD also. The i-glasses 3dvideo hms does field sequential 3d, so it should give you a preview. (Note i havent tested this myself so im only speculating based on logic) Regards Clyde | ||

Thank you clyde! However, I was told the following. The video taken with nuView Adapter or dual-lense camera can not be previewed with PC i-glasses, because it has different refresh (if I understood it right) frequency, i.e. the video frequency is 50/60 Hz and a standard PC image streaming frequency is 85-100Hz. I am not familiar with details, so I would really appreciate further explanation why the refresh frequency matters for LCD microdisplays or a good reference link to it. If it is correct what I said earlier, can any one suggest another method of shooting 3D real-world images to preview them on my computer with SVGA i-glasses? I need it because I want to embed such 3D images into my program interface. Sorry, could not login. Qofe | ||

They sell composite/s-video HMDs with 3d support (http://www.i-glassesstore.com/ig-hrvpro.html). The HMD can't be hooked up to your computer (unless your video card supports video-out) but you can use it for your camcorder. There may be places you can get a cheaper s-video/composite 3d HMD. If you want to hook it up to a computer, you can get the svga one, but as far as I know you have to use your computer as a pass through, and I believe the stereoscopic player can take video-in from your camcorder and display it in your HMD, if you have an Nvidia video card. | ||

The cheapest 3d HMD that supports VGA and NTSC is actually Icuiti's v920, it goes for $499. http://www.icuiti.com/play.html It doesn't have a large FOV and it's not in svga, but it's half the price of the i-glasses 3d hmds, and it can be used for composite, s-video, and vga. | ||

By Qofe. Thank you again. 1) I am aware of the fact that ig Video PRO supports PC refresh rate and can preview Video signal directly from the camcorder due to buffering capabilities. However, I will see some flickering if I parse the signal through my PC, because I need to embed the 3D pictures into my computer generated interface. Hence, my question is the following, shall I see the flickering if I use Nvidia? 2) Icuiti's v920 has low res:640x480. I suppose that the video quality won't be satisfactory for my purposes. FOV seems the same as in the ig Video PRO. Nevertheless, your reference is new for me. 3) Can anyone point me to a hardware which allows to take 3D pictures for computer editing and previewing (at 85-100Hz)? By the way, is there any specific software to edit stereoscopic pictures? |
