My revelator glasses which were working flawlessly for over a month suddenly died.They were the wired version. Thank god I had 2 pairs so I am sure it is the glasses and not some driver/windows issue. Fortunately my other pair is working fine.. Now , the problem is that here in greece , the shop that has these glasses had only one package in each city.. I hope it won't take long to replace the faulty glasses... Wish me luck! |

This post makes me laugh a bit. "Thank God" is a bit strong for anything vr related. Maybe you could thank one of the lesser religious figures-- a saint or demigod. One package in each city, eh. That's not really an aggressive distribution strategy. "I hope it won't take long to replace the faulty glasses..." You have two of them. Just a reminder that you can use the other ones while you're waiting on your backup. "Wish me luck!" Oh we'll do better than that. We'll all pray for you. All the while "Thanking God," that our own Relevators and other shutter glasses continue to work so that we might play games in stereo. Just joking, good luck with your shutterglasses. (I'm a goofball who uses them, too.) |

Hi, Anonymous, if that is your real name. .02 cents is right! I'm made of rubber and your made of glue and what you say bounces off me and sticks on your ugly ass. It was interesting to see that you took the time to make a meaningful addition to the original post. That is, you answered his question and furthered the discussion on his insightful additions to the discussion board. Oh, what's that? You didn't. You just insulted me for making light of his post. Why was that? BECAUSE HE DIDN'T ASK A QUESTION OR OFFER ANYTHING FOR DISCUSSION, JACKASSHOLE! FYI. If you walk away from your computer and you see it get smaller, don't worry that's what happens when you walk away from things. signed the Jackass |

Yeah, let's keep the discussions to things that matter. If everyone made a post when their hardware gave up; well, it would be a vast collection of boring stuff here. "My .02 cents" you need to lighten up a bit. Enjoy a joke-- especially where the one making it apologizes for it in the end...if he were a "jackass" I doubt he would do that. Reminder "my .02 cents"-- you were the first to start the name calling-- perhaps a more severe breaking of the rules here. My $10 worth. (I just feel that is the value of my post.) |

No, I agree with ".02 cents"-- the third poster. There are no useless posts here-- not the original by kgian-- not at all, and I take great offense to someone like the 2nd poster making fun of the fine fellow who took the time to tell us about his problem. Let's get back to the subject here. "[My relevators died...[wish me luck getting new ones.]]" Well, "jackass" if that is YOUR real name second poster, I would like to wish this unfortunate soul from afar of the first post a sincere heart-felt "good luck, kiddo'!" And as a Christine, I take great offense to the mentioning of preying to lesser Gods, second poster. I will sincerely prey for you first poster, "kgian". The following is my own personal story about my 3D glasses(I won't mention the brand for legal reasons (advice of lawyer)) causing trouble (how it happened, and how you can avoid the trouble with them). I think it will offer some insight to the original post. And I urge everyone else to make a post about your 3D hardware woes. Okay I got a some stereo 3D shutter computer glasses recently and I wanted to check out all of the 3D stuff that was going on. So I played several games with them-- hurt my eyes, made me cross eyed a little and made me dizzy-- but overall a pleasant experience. Then I was looking for stuff on the web-- 3D images, and came across the "3D nude pics [3D nude women]" thread of the General Discussion here on www.stereo3d.com. Well I followed some of the 3D nude women links and with 3D shutter glasses on was minding my "own business"-- if you know what I mean "wink" "wink", when who would walk in to the house unannounced (without knocking)-- my nosey future mother in law. Well you can imagine the embarrassment-- I tried to stand up quickly as she slowly opened the door to my office curiously calling my name (she was bringing over a present for my birthday). But the situation being that I was caught off guard cross eyed/dizzy with my trousers around my ankles, tethered to the computer with my cheapo wired 3D glasses (doing something that I should not have been) resulted in me tipping over in my chair backwards, knocking the computer desk over-- monitor and computer with it, sparks flying everywhere, my mother in law shrieking like she'd had her hand chopped off, then me flailing around on the ground like a cat that had its tail smashed under a rocking chair, trying to extricate myself from the mess. The sparks lit up my wool(actually 70%oil-based nylon) carpet. So now the situation was not only embarrassing, but also deadly. I was screaming like a little girl at this point-- half naked all tangled up in wires with blazing carpet nearby. My mother in law was still screaming...(and crying now.) I yelled (actually screamed), "Get the fire extinguisher! Get the fire extinguisher! I don't want to die like this! It's in the basement!" So she ran to get the fire extinguisher. But she has bad knees, so she fell down the steps, and with twisted ankles was now herself prone at the bottom of the steps screaming for help-- unable to get up. Well now the situation was really bad. But, it got worse. Though I managed to pull myself away from the computer and main portion of the fire closer to the window, my pants were ablaze around my ankles, the last bit of wire around the trousers/ankles. Half the room was on fire at this point-- it had jumped to a stack of newspapers. I managed to kick the pants off suffering only mild but painful burns on my feet and open a window. (The door was blocked by a wall of fire.) I was on the second floor of my house so I had to hang out the window (with a naked lower half) and holding on to the window ledge lower myself before I jumped the rest of the way. As it happened, I emerged from the bushes that I had fallen into scraped and bruised from the fall to find my pastor was taking a stroll with his family that day. He and his family were confused to say the least, and I tried to cover myself as best I could. (His wife covered the kid's eyes.) At this point flames and smoke were emerging from the window which I had just escaped from, and my future mother in law could be heard from the outside screaming at the top of her lungs in the basement. As it happened my future father in law was in the passenger side of the car with eyes closed listening to the radio in the car-- waiting for his wife. I quickly said goodbye to the pastor, his wife and children (in retrospect perhaps this was superfluous, but I was more than nervous), and ran in (still half naked), running to the basement putting mother in law to be over my shoulders. (She is rather corpulent.) All the while she was yelling at me (something about being a "pervert" and so forth) and hitting me in the head with her purse. As the house filled with smoke and flame I managed to carry her up the stairs and into my front yard. To my surprise she had already called the fire department on her cell phone while laying at the foot of the steps. Also, while in the basement she had made a quick but hysterical call to her daughter who worked as a paralegal at an office close by-- my fiance. So when I got out the door, I (still half naked, cross eyed and dizzy) was greeted by my father in law to be (awakened by the sirens of course), the fire department, several police cars, about 30 or so curious people from the neighborhood and my fiance. My house was already too far gone to be saved. In fact, another minute or two and my future mother in law wouldn't be with us. Oh...we laugh about it now. So if you are going to get 3D glasses, try and round up a pair of the wireless kind. The wired version is no good. Again, please post your hardware woes here and ignore the second poster who perhaps thinks stories like this are funny. It was a dangerous/deadly situation in large part caused by poor design that should have never been put on the market! I was going to sue the company, but we settled out of court. The reason that I dropped my law suit is that upon relating this story to the dubious company, they responded with the following e-mail: > >>We are sorry about your troubles that you may have experienced with your [brand name]. >Though it is not policy to upgrade hardware when making a replacement, we will be sending >a free upgrade to our wireless version today. We anticipate that you will be very pleased as it >will shut out the need to untangle yourself from the wire. > >Thank you. > >Sincerely, > >Tony >Tech Support Specialist >tjacobs@[company url] I thought that that was swell of them. Well, wish ME luck with my new glasses! |

It's now 2 weeks that I have given my glasses back to the shop, and they are still checking them. They sent them to Athens (the capital) for testing. The shop said they'll be testing them tomorow... They have to find them faulty, and then they'll say that they are to be replaced, but they won't find anywhere another packet, so they might say that I destroyed them.. Or they will search every shop to find another package.. Who knows how much time will it take to send me the new package.. That's why I asked you to wish me luck, and was happy I had another pair.. |
