Are there any 3d drivers that support side be side and if so do I need a vga pass through or can it just run through software. Also any links to how this works would be helpful. I'm trying to build a project with an LCD monitor and polarized lenses which would block out the opposite picture from each eye. Thanks, Mike G. | ||

Hi Mike VRCaddy supports side by side (see www.vrcaddy.com) How do you intend to polarise the LCD monitor? Will you be satisfied with relaxed or cross-eye view, or do you plan to overlay one eye's image onto the other's? (just curious) There has been some discussion on this board about cutting thin strips of polariser for interlaced stereo on LCD monitors... if that's of any interest, you can do a keyword search on the topic.

My original intent was to cut strips and use interlaced, but cutting strips that are .24mm would be rather difficult. Then I thought I would cover each half of the monitor with opposite polarity and make some polarized glasses. This allows each eye to have its own view. I have the VRCaddy demo but when I run 4x4 evolution it doesn't run in side by side mode it just shows up normal. I've also tried top and bottom but this also showed up normal. In the 3dwinx setup I do get top and bottom and side by side to show the sample screen but I'm not able to see stereo. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Thanks Mike G. | ||

Mike, I've tried the "interlaced strips" procedure. I've found a 19 microns polypropilene sheet can rotate light polarization. I've checked it on my flat panel (SGI), it works quite fine: wearing polarized glasses I can see with one eye what's not covered by the sheet and with the other eye what's covered. Of course there's no way to cut strips. I'm stil looking for an ink or something I can print using silk-printing technology. Maybe it does not exist. How can you superimpose the left and right images if you cover half of the monitor with a material that can rotate light polarization? Are you going to use mirrors? Regards | ||

I wasn't planning on using mirrors. I thought just by doing it this way that the image would automatically superimpose it, I guess not. Thanks. | ||

Sorry Mike. You cannot think your brain can merge side-by-side images (if each eye is able to see only one of them). Just a little horizontal shift will destroy the 3D effect. Giorgio. |
