I copied this from my stereovision.net post ---------------------------- I don't know if this was mentioned here yet or not but the release of the new i-glasses capable of 800x600 and 18 bit color has been push from this month to late September. I emailed them yesterday and Ross Rainville replied with the news. They are supposed to go for around US$999. I don't know if there are different configurations or what not, I'm assuming there will be. I can't wait for these babies... |

Does anyone know how one would send the new i-glasses a 3D Video feed? I would want the video to be above/below format or page flipping for better brightness and resolution than interlaced and I would need it to be portable for demonstration purposes. If this is possible, I would snap up a pair right away. |

DDDDD.....OOOO....HH...HH....!! D.....DD...OO..OO...HH...HH....!! D......DD..O......O...HH...HH....!! D......DD..O......O...HHHHHH....!! D......DD..O......O...HH...HH....!! D.....DD...OO..OO...HH...HH DDDDD.....OOOO....HH...HH....!! that may interfere with my XBOX purchase (way too much free time) Steven: When I went to the i-glasses sight they seemed to be thrilled that nVidia was supporting stereo right in their drivers. I would assume, but could be wrong, that they will support page flipping. Feel free to email this Ross guy at i-glasses and ask him. His email is ross@i-glasses.com. Let us know what he says. |

If they will not support page flipping thay are not up to current technology. VFX3D support page flipping (excelent combination with nVida drivers) for a long time ... I hope thay will support both stereo video signal, page flipping and interlaced output as VFX3D already does ... |

Thanks for the response Stee1HeD. Might you know if the Cybervisor will support pageflipping or above/below format and when it might be out? |

I have no idea, but I bet someone here does. That Anonymous dude or dudett seems pretty up to date on things... What's up with the no page flip support? For $1200 you think you would have the option. I wonder if they would support it at one time down the road or if it's a hardware limitation. |

Thought they orginally said they would run around 600 dollars. Wouldnt the Cy-Visor be a better option at this price?? (1200.00) |

YES! For what looks like $1250 you could get the system with head tracking as well. Unfortunately I did not see anything about stereo vision modes being supported when I went looking for info on it. That is a requirement for many. It looks more like a personal viewing tool than a virtual reality device. |

The I-Glasses SVGA DOES support page-flipping 3D stereo! That's the answer I got from their own sales manager at i-O Systems yesterday! "The i-glasses SVGA 3D will be available at the end of this month, with a retail price of $1,099.00 US (the 2D only model is $999.00). For orders placed before 9/21 we are offering a 10% discount. It will be compatible with the Nvidia 3D stereo drivers -Ross R. Rainville Sales Manager" |
