Seems to me nobody cares about giving stereo-3d support to notebooks. Now a lot of notebooks have a graphic card featuring HW OpenGL, you can play OpenGL Quake for example. Well, all notebboks have an LCD display and so we need an anaglyph driver for games. If I'm not wrong we have got two possibilities: GLDirect and EyeScream-light. Both of them declare a good support for almost all graphic cards; I have an ACER 737 with ATI RAGE MOBILITY graphic chipset ... I'm quite unlucky! Current beta of GLDirect doesn't work on my machine, I've been told to wait for the next one. EyeScream-light turns Quake III into some "interlaced anaglyph mode" (as I expected) then everything goes very slowly: typing the arrow keys in the main menu I receive feedback after about 10 seconds, the same goes if I move the mouse ... the machine appears to be freezed but it isn't: when I finally reached the EXIT menu Quake closed normally and (turning off EyeScream) the next time it opened as usual with a good OpenGL support (of course I setted 16-bit mode, the only color-depth that have HW OpeneGL support on ATI RAGE MOBILITY). Any suggestion? Does anybody cares about notebooks featuring ATI drivers? THANKS. | ||

I tested the VFX3D on a ATI RAGE Mobility. The dirvers are the worst I have ever seen from ATI. There are so many problems. I suggest using a Dell with gforce go. I atleast know that works with the VFX3D. | ||

The New Dell Inspiron 8000, has a 16MB GeForce To Go Card and a 32MB ATI card. We do demos on the road with both, using the VFX3D and they both work great. We actually used the GeForce card at the GDC to run Unreal Tourny and it was fine in 3D. We have used the Toshiba with the ATi cards in the past and they are aweful. It is not the ATI drivers it is toshiba that sucks. Toshiba also came out with a GeForce To Go option and it was equally bad. Steve@IIS | ||

Hi, The Toshiba 2805-S402 with 16MB GeForce2Go works fine. We use one for 3D software development (Win2K and even WinME). When it first came out, the GeForce2Go drivers were buggy, but now they are fine. The Dell came out later, and used the more stable drivers to begin with. Both Toshiba and Dell produce excellent machines. For more info, see the reviews on www.zdnet.com (both GF2Go machines are reviewed favorably). For price, availability, and features, the Toshiba is a better deal than the Dell. If one needs a 32MB GeForce2Go, or a higher res. screen, the Dell Inspiron 8000 is currently the only option (over $1000 more, though). For real-time 3D with heavy texture mapping on a notebook, GeForce2Go is the only viable option. ATI (Mobility) and S3 (Savage) solutions are currently not in the same league; hopefully they'll provide competitive solutions to NVidia to keep moving the market forward quickly. Regards, John | ||

I´ve got the i-glasses working on my very small Sony vaio pcg-c1ve wich has an ati 3D rage mobility graphic card. I can get stereo3D on games as tombraider and stuff using the VRCADDY drivers. now I´m looking for a way to get my headtracker to work on a usb port. to get a wearable computer If I find a way on how to do this I will let you guys know!

what about using Eyescream Light for the anaglyph support the original poster mentioned? that way, you could use the LCD on the laptop. Will the eyescream Light drivers work with the new mobile accelerators? it'd also be easy to throw a couple of pairs of red/blue glasses in the bag with the laptop. -Eric L. | ||

oops, let me clarify... 1) did you use the registered version of eyescream light? 2) if you tested in openGL, this would be why it ran slow; you'd be best off using a game/app that runs in D3D with those chipsets... 3) did anyone test it on a Geforce2go yet? 4) maybe you could try the miniGL driver/wrapper; it runs OGL apps in D3D. sorry about the earlier, "confusing" post. -Eric L. | ||

Eric, I used the demo version of eyescreamlight but I expect a demo to work like the commercial application. I've no D3D application for testing, I waited a long time to download the Quake demo with my 56k modem ... where can I download a small D3D application for testing purpose? (I'm not sure my ATI driver will support D3D acceleration). What about this miniGL driver? Where can I download it? Thanks, Giorgio | ||

Sorry, i had load the international Driver,now it is great with the Nvidia Stereo Diver 45.23,with many games Red-Blue,and page-flip with Shutter on ext. Monitor,only have Problem with HMD i-visor3D in page-flip. | ||

turns an LCD, flat panel display or plasma screen into 3D stereo display. see: http://www.vrex.com/products/micropol.shtml | ||

Clarification, PLEASE???? (sorry, but I'm a bit dense at the moment!) For those of you who are successfully "page- flipping" an LCD display and viewing with shutterglasses..... WHAT refresh rates can you achieve?????? Thansk Very Much, John Billingham |
