I'm waiting (at the University) for a DTI 2015XLS; I have an Asus V7100 2V1D twinview video card, win2000 and 12.41 nVidia drivers. I've been looking at the reviews on the web for this autostereoscopic monitor hoping to learn something to minimize the installation time but I only got more confused. Someone says to install nVidia detonator drivers + nVidia stereo driver. But I work on win2000 and from what I've read nVidia stereo driver doesn't support it... (maybe I'm wrong? I hope so!) Other reviews say to use Elsa Revelator drivers. But do they support twinview? I want to install the DTI as a second monitor side by side with a CRT, to develop applications with a "normal" user interface on the CRT that can launch "real 3D" interactions on the DTI. I hope someone can give me some useful suggestions. I'm quite new to this matters and trying to learn from the web I'm becoming overwhelmed by too much information, sometimes confusing. Thanks in advance for any help Stefano Mininel | ||

Stefano, it's quite an hard job. DTI monitor require a stereo signal and you cannot share it with the other monitor. What kind of application are you going to run? Do you require OpenGL HW support? I think it's better for you to wait for the DTI monitor and let as know. I live in Milan. As far as you know, have I any possibily to see the DTI autostereo monitor here? Giorgio | ||

Hi Giorgio, Two fields of research: 1) some colleagues are developing partial differential equations methods to obtain a precise map of the electric potentials in the brain from the EEG values. Morphology of the head is obtained by MR and CT series. I want to give then a "visual" and possibly "3D-stereo" feedback for the (long) algorithms that calculate the electrical field. 2) we have developed a client application for the DPACS archive that, in Hospital of Cattinara (Trieste) allows research and visualization of medical digital images and other medical data in DICOM format. Here I want to add the possibility to have the 2D images of a CT or MR series on a standard monitor and the 3D reconstruction in stereo on the near DTI monitor, to give to the physician-user both the "true" data and their "3D-summary". For both applications I'll use Kitware's vtk (OpenGL-based). I want to use both poligonal visualization (with segmentation) and volume rendering. So HW support will be very useful (not to say necessary) at least for poligons. Volume rendering, as far as I know, cannot be helped by HW except by using "tricks" like layers of textures (correct me if I'm in error). I'd be pleased and surprised to be the first italian user of the DTI display, but after all the enthusiastic reviews I've read about it on the web this seems unlikely. I've ordered it from the german firm named on the DTI web site as their European reseller and I don't know if someone in Milan already bought it. If you (or anyone else reading this post) can give me any useful suggestion I'd be very happy. Greetings Stefano | ||

Hi Stefano, as far as I've understood you don't need real-time visualisation ... well, things are getting easier. You are ready to develop, working with an OpenGl based kitware, a stand-alone software for visualisation; it may be an hard task: have you checked that your kitware supports stereo-formats (or are you going to write the necessary software by yourself?). If I were you I would try to convert your data to standard VRML format; you can find a lot of visualisation tools out there supporting this format (even with stereo support, probably working with DTI monitor). Be carefull with dual monitor visualisation; it's likely to loose HW OpenGL support ... and a lot of software bugs! Feel free to e-mail me in italian at my e-mail adress. Regards, Giorgio. | ||
