We want to display, using our custom software, stereo photos of lanscape. We will take the photos ourselves. Then the application will be interactive, with navigation inside the photos, using Macromedia Director. So Director will compute the right subpart of the two images to display. So we want to bypass the 3D part of the 3DStereo driver, to plug directly into the left and right eye. Does the driver have a "2 monitors emulation" mode, where the 2 eyes are seen as 2 computer monitors, which would allow our application to output the computed stereo images to these two screens ? Or do we need to write a Director plugin to talk to a special SDK to bypass the 3D part ? Any other solution ? Thanks a lot, | ||

Many Nvidia GeForce cards have two outputs (one VGA and one DVI), and with the nView utility the system can be configured to work as a big desktop (twice the width) outputing the left half to one monitor and the right to the other. For example, at 1024x768, the wide virtual desktop is 2048x768. The trick is to paint the image for the left eye on the left half of the screen (1024 pixels wide) and the right on the right half. Now these two outputs can go to two projectors or whatever. This does not need special stereo drivers. | ||

Thank you. We had this in mind indeed. But this implies the use of HMD (or glasses) with 2 VGA inputs, instead of only one, right? We had trouble finding this kind of glasses, as the 3DStereo technology is based on glasses with only 1 VGA input. In the meantime, we have found glasses with 2 inputs, which should suit us fine. If you have advices there it would be nice too. | ||

Antoine, there was a post here on the board lastweek about an HMD that has dual vgs input, I think the hmd is from trivisio? Maybe that will help Meanwhile if you have an hmd with only one Vga input (interlaced 3d compatible hmd) Then you could use a passive to active converter from places such as Cyviz. http://www.cyviz.com/converters.htm There may be other cheaper passive/active converters out there... google for them Note: that you will lose half the "detail resolution" of the image by converting from full frame to interlace.. but it should not be so bad. Plan B: Use two vga to pal converter boxes and feed a dual Video input HMD with the video feeds coming from from a good nvidia dual output card Regards Clyde | ||

Hi I see this converter on any profesional 3D web site, and read next information:"If you have nVidia based cards, then you don´t need this converter". But option for separated output left/rigt view to 1/2 VGA output in stereodrivers missing. When I look to windows registry, then I find "StereoViewerType" key. Know anybody how set it? Is it right way? Sorry, my english language is very bad  | ||

Btw my idea is two DLP projectors with polarized filters, silver screen, polarized binoculars. Any like I-max. But for Game  . thx |
