ummhhh. If we believe in the rumour of the revelator being supported by the Nvidia generic drivers, (see "Getting Revelator to work with nVidia reference drivers" at stereovision.net forum) and having into account that ELSA is putting down the revelator prices, this could be the beginning of bringing real 3D to the masses, instead of the death of the revelator.

I mean, if you can buy revelators even at the fuel stations cheaply, and ALL Nvidia cards support them, they could became the de facto stardard in popular 3d systems. This could even force the rest of graphic chipset makers to "join" to this revelator intrinsic support.

Otherwise it makes no sense to add revelator support to the generic drivers, if they are going to dissapear form the market.

What do you think about all this?

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it may be a duck - a clearance sale!

SMM the main distributor of the cheap Revelators is a total clearance sale specialist. They buy software, books, CD's and peripherals in large quantities which reached the end of their life-cycle. Their Revelator ad says: residual item - while stocks last.

I bet the ELSA management doesn't like the Revelator. It's cheap, marketing is very difficult, it requires constant driver updates and it certainly generates tons of support requests.

Concerning the generic NVidia drivers let's just wait and see what's the story behind this.

The manufacturer of the Revelator has it's own line of H3D-Terminator/Cruiser glasses and there are a gazillion other glasses, many of them Revelator compatible.
