.. I would desperately like to see a "half color" mode hack for the Nvidia Anaglyph Stereocsopic mode. Is this at all possible by programmers who are reading this board? The full color anaglyph is horrible and has severe retinal rivalry. Thanks and regards Clyde | ||

What is "half color" mode? May be you can get it by adjusting colors in anaglyph properties of the driver. | ||

nope .. in short it involves greyscaling the red channel. (pkk will soon stumble on this post, and knowing him he'll fill you in on it, the perfectionist that he is ;) Cheers Clyde | ||

LOL! ok.. I'll try .. in brief. basically with typical anaglyph, such as that done with the Nvidia anaglyph driver, or even in movies like spykids, there is a "glaring" sensation when looking at anything that contains pure red colors. (or for that matter when red is present in any quantity in objects in a scene) this results in whats known as color rivalry or retinal rivalry. you may not notice this immediately but after a while your eyes tire from all this, and this makes for why anaglyph has not enjoyed much success (apart from the fact that red/cyan filters in front of your eyes anyways make for uncomfortable viewing to a certain extent) So "half color mode" is a process aimed at reducing this color or retinal rivalry. we do this by removing the red channel entirely and thus Grey-scaling the left eye view. actually you dont "delete" the red channel from the left eye view you just greyscale it. (easier to explain if your familiar with photoshop) anyhow hope im making sense, but im sure someone else can explain this better cheers! clyde | ||

So would an algorithm like the following work for the left eye view?: Replace each RGB value in the pixels of the left eye view with R+G+B/3. So a RGB value of 100 48 25 gets changed to 58 58 58 which is a greyscale value. And right eyeview(cyan) is unchanged? - StereoGamer | ||

umm the math is the part i hate  Lets hope Peter Wimmer can explain this better, I cant seem to find his formulas page on his site. Regards Clyde | ||

oh here we go! http://mitglied.lycos.de/stereo3d/anaglyphcomparison.htm I favor the Halfcolor mode versus the optimized mode as half color is a little bit more lifelike. Cheers clyde |
