Your going to love this! Where are all you hackers out there? You missed this one for some time. Dual head stereo is possible with Nvidia 3D stereo driver! There are issues and limitations so here is how to do it right... First you need a Dual head Nvidia card, DOH Then the StereoViewerType needs to be set to 4 You'll see two monitors displayed in the Stereo control panel, one with a L on it and one with a R on it(yes, left and right views respectively) Enable both displays via the Microsoft control panel page, NOT with Nview VERY, VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: (Yelling out loud!) You must have the settings for both monitors exactly the same! That is horizontal, vertical, and bit depth, 1024x768x32 for example. AND you must run the application in this same mode! You get any of these wrong and you'll see garbage on one or both screens or worse, a reboot. The one that happens most is that the bit depth in the game is different 16 vs 32 or vice versa. This is the solution for all of you trying to get low cost dual head projection systems working with stereo. It's a whole new ball game... Cheers | ||

This falls in line with my response from the NVidia developers saying that this would be available in the next release of the stereo driver. I guess they just need to update the control panel applet. Good catch! | ||

The grean chanle swapping (called as well Stereo Bright) technology is a nice idea, unfortunately it does not work well for all projectors. The native ploarization int the LCD projectors is usualy not good enought + you can not use additional ploarizer to improve it ... According Radeon: Can anybody report the stage of page flipping support on it ? | ||

StereoGamer, Please tell us the Detonator and Stereo drivers you are using! Also, does this work for OpenGl games as well as DirectX ? That would be a huge improvement. Are you noticing any L/R view swapping when the system gets bogged down? If Nvidia starts supporting this mode that would be AWESOME. | ||

I got it working with the Nvidia test application and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It ran smooth and beautiful. Only tried on two separate monitors, so I had no way of seeing real stereo, but the difference in perspective on each monitor was obvious. This is amazing... with a stable system such as this it'll be realistic to set up a dual passive projection system that's stable and not too expensive - considering the prices of projectors dropping (e.g. the Infocus X1 DLP projector at a little above €1.000) plus the reasonnable priced non-depolarizing screens of Porrman & Awater, I'd almost be inclined to say, that there's no need to wish for a shutterglasses-capable 120 Hz native rate DLP projector (the price of which would probably be well above that of two X1s) any longer. Though I suppose some testing is nessecary to be sure the Detonator dual method is sufficiently versatile and stable. My most important specs: Windows XP pro Albatron (don't know the model, it's a GeForce4 TI4200 with dual output, one of them is DVI-I) NVidia 45.23 Detonator and stereo drivers. Thomas Porrman, if you're reading this: Can you supply a kit consisting of a screen of, say 120 by 90 cm, plus polarizers and polarized glasses? What would the price be? Alex ...who's very eager to get rid of the bulky and complex CRT+shutterglasses projetion system. P.S.: You have to have a second monitor attached to the computer to be able to activate the dual monitor output. Just in cast you want to experiment with the settings. P.P.S.,Regarding "DOH": I belive it to be an expression of something not being the way it ought to be - e.g. not having a dual-VGA card when needing one. | ||

I have also done some testing with version 45.23 and my FX 5900 card. It seems to work great (again on two monitors). I believe this is going to be implemented fully in the 5x.xx drivers which are due out soon, so hopefully the crashes under incorrect configs will be fixed in this release. Now my thoughts are turning to 2 x Infocus LP530's with a rear projection stuart Filmscreen 200 and polarizing filters. Total cost of the system, approx. $5500. Sounds expensive, but with a much larger FOV than any headset will be able to provide for the same price probably for the next 5 years, plus the fact that the re-sale value on the projectors will still be pretty good when I want to upgrade to another system, I think is makes sense. C'mon share options... work for me baby! Ray PS, I think 'duh' would be more appropriate than 'doh'  | ||

@all: Got it to work now, too :-) I have 2 beamer and a polarisation system. As graphic-card a gforce from asus (ti 4600 with two outputs, one is dvi). I testet only some minutes with two games: "mafia" and the demo of "x2 the threat". Both it work and I got a stereo-game You have to figure out the stereo-parameters of course and I tried only some minutes now and not optimized the parameters. The more3d-driver (4.04) is on my system more performant than nvidia - particular in the x2-demo on some complex scenes the nvidia was a lot slower than the more3d. But it may be that actualy there is a lot of debug-code in the nvidia - so we have to wait for the final version to compare them realy fair. But in mafia the more3d driver have some probs with lights on the distance - the nvidia not. So far it seams actualy both drivers have advantages and disadvantages. | ||

If so, will it be limited to 60Hz... even though in theory there should be no refresh cap. Damn, a £700 SVGA 3d, and now 2x projectors, all in the name of a realistic gaming experience, and all from a poor student's measley income... i must be mad :-) StereoGamer, you say you got it to work well?

| StereoGamer Rating: N/A |
Not sure exactly how or why you would use shutter glasses with dual projection. Maybe you can enlighten me and I might be able to give an answer to your question(s). I used it with passive polarized glasses(different filter over each projector) and it works just great that way. Plus 60hz is sufficient. Cheers (not from the UK, tho) | ||
| RAGEdemon Rating: N/A |
The main reason is i cannot afford polarised filters/lenses. Poor student here with minimum budget, already owning shutter glasses though. Apart from htis, i have no experience with polarisation, or even know how it compares with shutter glasses. I understand th basic principles, but it reminds me too much of old red/blue anaglygh setups, to which shutter glasses are far superior. Would appreciate any info --RAGEdemon | ||

Anonymous, You're wrong. Seperate L/R output can be enabled in the current driver (45.23). Admittedly, the fact that it has to be done by editing the registry is not explicit in the above posts (but implicit in the talk about changing StereoViewerType). Alex | ||
| Alexander Oest Rating: N/A |
RAGEdemon, How do you plan to use the two projectors - and to exclude left respectively right image? Would you put a shutter panel in front of each projector? You'd probably loose a lot of light that way. You could also use a spinning disc with holes in front of the projectors, but I imagine it'd be really expensive (more than polarizers, etc.) ...unless you are able to make it yourself. My guess is that polarizing is the way to go, if you want a two-projector setup. The price of non-depolarizing screen, polarizers and glasses would probably be negligable, considering that you're willing to buy two projectors. Btw, I've bought a set of non-depolarizing foil, polarizers and glasses from Porrmann & Awater due for delivery in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know how it works once I've tried it out. Alex | ||
| RAGEdemon Rating: N/A |
Sorry, perhaps i did not give ebough info. I was under the impression that the signal being output from the cards, even of on different channels, would still give out a syncing signal to the glasses, through a normal pass-through cable on one or both the outputs that eg the revelators use. The left and right projector would give out their respective images at ie 60Hz but each synched to each eye of the shutter glasses. One could therefore use shutter glasses just as they would on a normal monitor, but obviously on a much larger screen. The first post lists that the configuration of the projectors should be identical, which also suggests this is what would take place. If it is a part nVidia stereo driver made for shutter glasses, then one would assume this is the functionality of outputing stereo signals. After all, minimal programming is needed to also output a syncing signal simultaniously, and allow for a much wider user base and compatibility. I also have the i-Glasses SVGA 3D which i use as a dual monitor setup. The card outputs a perfect stereo image to the HMD, but only one image to the monitor, but which is still synched perfectly. The pass-through must be attatched to the primary device for this to work. Perhaps the signal really in synched and no-body has tested it? --RAGEdemon | ||
| StereoGamer Rating: N/A |
"One could therefore use shutter glasses just as they would on a normal monitor, but obviously on a much larger screen." On a normal monitor you are presenting the appropriate left and then right image in time with the switching of the glasses. In dual projection mode you are presenting BOTH images SIMULTANEOUSLY. So the use of shutter glasses will not work unless you make the projectors wear the glasses also. And in that case you don't need the DDC signal. Cheers. | ||

To RAGEdemon, No need to be worried about the price of polarising lenses and filters etc. Check out www.Reel3d.com. The lenses will set you back about $16, and the glasses can be even cheaper (about $3). You'll need to hunt around for a polarisation preserving screen (e.g. front projection silver surface), but you may find one on ebay if you are on a strict budget. And remember, because you're using passive stereo all your friends can join in using the £5 glasses too! I'm afraid I'm not a regular frequenter of this forum, so please email me at r.hollands@aims-solutions.co.uk for a quick response to any questions. Cheers, Robin | ||

I've loaded ASUS's 45.23 Detonator and NVidia's 45.23 stereo driver and am trying out the dual-head stereoviewerType set to 4 method. So far, the following games work beautifully with perfect stability: Unreal Tournament Unreal Tournament 2003 NOLF2 However, the following games don't work this way: Dungeon Siege Half-Life What happens on these two games when stereo is enabled is that the left monitor shifts to show the left view but the right monitor never activates. It remains blank. Also, OpenGL mode for Half-Life won't work at all anymore, even in mono-mode. My roommate tells me that he can only get his OpenGL games to work with his GeForce if he disables the second monitor. I'll have to see if that fixes the problem, but of course, that rules out dual-head stereo. Sigh. Does anyone have similar problems? Which OpenGL games has anyone got working using this dual-head method? I'm very curious to know. My Specs: Win98SE, ASUS 8460 ti4600 with VGA and DVI-I output. | ||
| GianCarlo Rating: N/A |
I'm having another difficulty with this method. When I switch to stereo mode, my right display is always a lot more washed out. The in-game gamma, contrast, and brightness controls only affect the left view. The gamma control in the stereo panel unfortunately affects both views. I can adjust the left view to make it washed out also :P , but I have no way to adjust the right view to give it more contrast and vibrancy to match the left view. The hardware controls on the right view monitor itself aren't enough to fix the problem and the color management properties don't apply in Direct3D unforunately. I wish they did. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to swap views or change which port is the primary? Then maybe I could adjust the monitor with in-game controls... | ||
| GianCarlo Rating: N/A |
I'm sorry, I discovered that the software color management properties for each monitor to hold when stereo is applied in a D3D game. So I was able to fix the washed out color of my right monitor this way! Hooray! Unfortunately, the washed-out effect seems to vary from game to game, it will have to be adjusted on a game-by-game basis.  Oh, well. I still would like to hear feedback on OpenGL games and for games like Half-Life and Dungeon Siege where the right-view monitor fails to activate in this dual-head stereo mode. By the way, I was only able to get Half-Life to work in OpenGL mode by disabling the second monitor . That certainly kills the dual-head stereo effect! Has anyone discovered a solution to this? What OpenGL games has anyone got to work in Dual-Head stereo mode? Is the SoftQuadro method (which I never got to work) the only way? | ||

There are two ways of activating dual monitors: In the nVidia driver settings and in Windows' display properties accessed via Windows' control panel. Dual monitors should be activated by the Windows properties, not in nVidia's interface. IIRC, I just left the nvidia dual settings untouched, so they probably shouldn't be enabled at all. Not too sure about that, though (I'm not sitting by my stereo computer at the time). Alex | ||

Hi Stereogamer, I am using the a Quadro980xgl graphics card and am having trouble getting this to work. I have the L and R available by changing the StereoViewer Type to 4 and have had to upgrade to Windows Xp Pro so that I can enable the second display using the Control panel rather than the nView Tab since Windows 2000 does not allow you to enable the display other than through the nView Tab. Anyway I do everything as you say and when I try the "Launch Stereo Test Application" it only appears on one screen! If i have clone mode in use I get images on both screens but they are identical instead of left and right images! ANy thoughts? Is it down to the board I am using? I need this board since I need to be able to use the Quadbuffered stereo API function for running software such as 3D Studio Max in 3D using nView Clone mode as the stereo output. Any help would be appreciated. I had the stereo gaming running as Ray Price had using a GeForce4 board and windows 98, but have been unable to get any other combination working for gaming! | ||

Quadro should work, unless there is some bug in the driver. All I can think of is to make sure that you have workstation stereo off and that the resolution and bit depth of the two outputs are exactly the same as well as what you select when you run the stereo test app. but I'm sure you thought of these already. Cheers | ||

Thanks Stereogamer for the advice on the Quadro 980xgl board, I've tried it with both the workstation stereo on and off and the res and colour depth were all identical in both the displays and in the Stereo Test App! I take it Direct X will have no influence on this? Should I install the latest version? I am in the process of downloading the latest version of Display and Stereo drivers from the nVidia site in case there was a corruption when I initially downloaded but I have tried various different version of the drivers already and wouldn't imagine all were corrupt! Is there any difference between the nVidia Quadro display driver and the GeForce display drivers? ie is version 45.23 of the GeForce identical to version 45.23 Quadro display driver? I've even tried downloading the GeForce version and using it but the same problem exists. I note you mention in one of your postings that the same version Stereo and Display drivers should be used is this critical? Could I use a newer display driver with an older Stereo driver? What is the first version of the display and stereo drivers that allows this capability? Any help is greatly appreciated! Steven | ||

Stereogamer, I think I have found the problem with of why my Quadro card does not work! I finally got the Stereo Test App to work. I was having a problem with teh Workstation Stereo and tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Display driver to get it working but Plug and Play kept detecting th Graphics card and reinstalling the nVidia Display drivers even though I was not telling it to do so. I was theerfore unable to simply go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the driver. I manually uninstalled the drivers and after a number of attempts was fianlly able to do this. I then installed the 45.23 Display and stereo drivers and the Stereo Test App worked. I am assuming that whenever I was trying to uninstall the version of Display driver I had and then reinstall a specific version of the display drivers that some remnants of the old driver were stopping a full install!!! Anyway it was working. The only problem was that the 45.23 display driver did not have the "nView Display modes" functionality listed at the left ie I was unable to click Clone, Single, DualView etc since I could not see these instead there were listings for Device Selection and Color Correction and in the device selection I was only able to Detect Displays and Adjust their properties. I was teherfore unable to try the Workstation Stereo as I could not select Clone although in OpenGL properties I was able to Enable Quadbuffered Stereo and Select nView Clone mode as the Stereo viewing option. ANyway I am in the process of Installing another version of the Display Driver and seeing if can get both Workstation and Gaming stereo working. | ||

Dah Dah !! Have both working repeatably and both are stable unfortunately can't run both with same set up of drivers, ie I need to uninstall the Consumer 3D stereo drivers to get the Workstation Stereo working and conversely not have the Workstation stereo set up when I install the Games drivers or else these stereo games drivers don't work. If any of the nVidia guys are reading this then perhaps they can think up a solution to get both working simultaneously without having to change the drivers about, and release a better version of Detonator RIP since it doesn't do what it says on the tin, namely remove all traces of the Detonator drivers after they have been uninstalled. That said it is wonderful that nVidia have incorporated this feature into the new drivers and if Ray Price is reading this then perhaps he will pass my thanks on to the nVidia contact he has since the more people who want this and let nVidia know they want this the better it will undoubtedly become. | ||

"Only tried on two separate monitors, so I had no way of seeing real stereo, but the difference in perspective on each monitor was obvious." Just a side note: If you stand back far enough from these two monitors you can use free viewing and see the stereo effect. I used to not be able to do this, but after some time with stereo, now I can without any strain. Make sure you're not too close though. Cheers. | ||

Wrong. This is using NVIDIA's stereo driver which they claim works with over 1000 games, none of which have been modified to support stereo. It's an override so it effectively works on all games. Only games it doen't work on are ones that don't do regular 3D correctly or don't use 3D at all. (Minus, of course the driver bugs that are inherent in trying to support something non-standard on that many games.) - Stereogamer | ||
| GianCarlo Rating: N/A |
Stereogamer, yes NVIDIA's stereoscopic driver works in thousands of games, D3D and OpenGL, in the page-flipped mode. However, I have yet to hear of anyone getting an OpenGL game to work in the "hidden" Dual-Head mode (if anyone has, please post how you did it!). The second monitor does not activate. This is kinda understandable since I've read that getting multiple monitors to work for stuff in D3D is relatively easy to code whereas it's not as native to OpenGL. The other method besides the stereoscopic driver to get dual-head OpenGL is to use the professional Quadro feature "twinview stereo" or something like that. I've read that this feature only works with OpenGL apps that were designed for it. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I would like to be. | ||

Ok, I tried Oni and RTCW last night, two OpenGL games, using the Stereoscopic Driver's dual-head mode (StereoViewerType 4). They both worked!!! Hooray! This opens up so many more games I can now play with my mirrored stereoscope. By the way, I did find that the hotkey to enable stereo in the game (Default = Cntl+T) doesn't always work the first or even fifth time. I just have to keep punching the keystroke until it works. This is probably what made me think it didn't work the first time I tried an OpenGL game. | ||

I still need to either build some kind of stand or add some weight in the back to balance it out. Same problem HMD's face. | ||

Just to try and get the message out about the new 71.84 drivers and how they now support dual VGA in clone mode, posting this here: Just spent some time with this setup. Used to be with the old drivers you had to use dual view and set all the heads to the same resolution and bit depth AND run the game in the same mode. A little awkward. Now you set the system in clone mode with stereo enabled or enabled by hotkey and when the game does a mode change both heads change, plus when stereo is activated, you get the left/right views on the two heads in that same mode. Much simpler and works pretty clean. Granted "clone mode stereo" is an oxymoron, but it does work nicely. - StereoGamer | ||
