Requires new 71.84 drivers. Go here to download: http://download.developer.nvidia.com/developer/SDK/Individual_Samples/samples.html#StereoAPI Sample source code as well. WooWoo - StereoGamer |

:-(. I a bit unhapy with the API design + related informations ... The interface nature + Diret3D orientation makes it probably not usuable in OpenGL fullscreen aplications ... Or can I simply in an OpenGL APP to use the CreateStereoI function and create the API control interface as well as in Direct3D ? In the documentation I totaly miss direct numeric connections of the stereo API parameters with the scene geometry. I can only quess what setting is good and what not ... |

StereoGamer: Maybe you can help me to find a way how to transfer to nVidia people folowing bug report: On profesional Quadro cards under XP SP2 in OpenGL profesional stereo mode, the communication through DIN-3 connector with shuterglasses does not work realiable. During hi CPU load the L/R eye switches incorectly. This does not occure when glasses are on DCC or in cloned dual output mode ... |

StereoAPI will work with OGL since it is controlling the back-end(i.e. separation, convergence, on/off, etc). You use the normal OGL calls to setup the scene, etc just as you always did. - StereoGamer |

StereoGamer: Thank you for the information. It is good to know it shoudl work before trying to confirm this experimentaly :-). I will try to encode an OpenGL equivalent of the DirectX example and put it somwhere for download ... |

From NVIDIA "tech support": We have seen similar problems with the with an unreliable signal on the mini-DIN-3. However, it appeared to be another driver blocking the graphic driver's interrupt rather than high CPU load. You might want to check if you have serial or parallel dongles and their drivers running on the computer. - StereoGamer |

Stereo Gamer: Another question - I was tring to activate the stereo API in an OpenGL application ... Code looks like this: StereoI* g_pStereoAPI = NULL; // interface to stereo API if(!CreateStereoI(&g_pStereoAPI)) { MessageBox(NULL,"This sample requires the NVIDIA 71.83 Stereo driver or greater. Please visit NVIDIA.COM for details.","StereoI.dll Not Found", MB_OK|MB_SETFOREGROUND|MB_TOPMOST); } else { g_pStereoAPI = NULL; } if (g_pStereoAPI == NULL) { MessageBox(NULL,"CreateStereoI does not give pointer to the stere API","Error", MB_OK|MB_SETFOREGROUND|MB_TOPMOST); } The result is ALWAYS NULL pointer to the stereo API even when the CreateStereoI ends scuccesful ... VC 6 used as compilation enviroment. Any idea ? Will recompliation in VC 7 make any diference ? |

Finaly I had found that the VC 7.1 is a must for the compilation ... Code compiled with VC 6 crashes during acces to the StereoAPI interfaces ... But it realy works with OpenGL as StereoGamer mentioned ... I work on an OpenGl sample code ... |

Glad you found the problem. Sometimes just talking to someone about an issue helps to debug it. - StereoGamer |
