Hello, I really need some advice from those of you knowledgeable about 3D devices. Sorry I don't know too much, but I can tell you what I know. I have a projector displaying a stereoscopic image for a room of people to view with shutter glasses in 3D. Now I want to add a better system for the main user, but still allow everyone in the room to see the 3D image on the screen. I am looking into buying the Z800 and TrackIR3 with Vector Expansion, so that the main user can look around in 3D, but then I need everyone else to see what he sees projected onto the big screen, with their shutter glasses. But my network admin tells me that this is absolutely impossible, because the signal to the head-mounted display of the main user is a constant image in front of each eye, whereas the projected display for the shutter glasses needs to be an alternating image. Stereo3D experts, is this true, and is it impossible? Help? | ||

I don't have a Z800, but if it's like any of the other recent HMDs, it only has one video input into the HMD. (Uh, duh, in fact I know this because I tried the thing at E3!) The way it sends two images is by alternating left/right eye images with each frame. That's exactly what shutter glasses do, so you could probably drive both from the same signal. The NVIDIA drivers handle the page flipping beautifully, and might just do so out of the two "mirrored" outputs of a dual head card. From what I understand, the Z800 also has a head tracker, so wouldn't using the TrackIR3 for head tracking be redundant? Your network admin sounds like other "network admins" I know, guys who KNOW ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ALL THE WAY BACK TO NEGATIVE INFINITY. :-) | ||
