Just a note about those 3d goggles-I bought them but didn't really like them. I think my monitor's refresh ratw was too low to work w/ them. They were only $70, so I guess you get what you pay for. My eyes are kind of screwed-up anyways, but I did pass the "test" at the begining of the install,so it should have worked. I ended up just tossing them out.

I ordered the 3d glasses, and they arrived yesterday. They worked last night, but they don't work anymore. Hopefully eDimensional's tech support has a solution. While they were working, I thought they were great.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

I'm sorry they didn't work out well for you, yojimbo Perhaps you just needed slightly better equipment? The strobe-like effect the goggles produce may not have agreed with your eyes too. I work with a guy who complains about his monitor's refresh rate and that his monitor always seems flickering (as does everyone's monitor to him) - even the refresh rate is up to 85 Hertz. He's just really fine tuned in to that kind of thing.

So they're working for you? Err... were working for you?

Let me rephrase - the technology did in fact allow you to see 3D (real depth) while it was functioning? That's really cool.

I hope you're able to get them working again. Maybe you've got a software conflict or something. Sometimes Norton or Macafee virus protection software kind of resets your settings to a "safe" setting that they remember and that might have caused a problem. Then again, there are literally about a thousand things that could cause the problem. Dumb question - are the goggle batteries working? You may have gotten old batteries packaged with them. Just guessing.

Anyway, I hope you get it working again.

I really want to get the goggles for my computer, but I doubt my machine would be able to handle the task. My computer is 4 years old and is not quite top-of-the-line or high-speed by today's standards. I'm holding off on a new system before I invest in the goggles

I've been reading up on the other goggles they make - that are supposed to turn a regular 2D TV signal in to a 3D experience via frame analysis and complicated calculations to produce left-eye and right-eye views. I've read a lot of good reviews about this TV based device (from various sites) and most people who have tried them seem to like them. They say the larger the viewing screen, the better they work.

But I'm still skeptical as to their performance (the TV based ones). I wish I could see them in action somewhere BEFORE I bought them. It would be really cool if they did work. I could watch in REAL 3D And I could play Metroid Echoes in 3D... again - IF it actually worked.

I can understand how it might be able to analyze the frames and simulate 3D when there is defined motion taking place, but what about when there is little motion to a scene? I think the technology would fail to produce an accurate 3D image when there is little motion in a scene. That would be a big turn off to me.

Man, I REALLY want 3D SOMETHING! Ok, I know - life is in 3D, but you know what I mean

Yes, they actually worked, and they looked great! The wow factor is off the charts, and they works for (though I didn't get the chance to try them with that). As for the google batteries, I bought the wired kind, which don't have batteries. I called tech support, and they think it might be a hardware problem. They're going to email me an offer to replace the glasses.

Oh, and when you do get the glasses, be sure to set your monitor refresh rate to at least 100 Hz, if it can handle that.

Great! Keep us updated Conduit! If they work consistently and they consistently WOW you, let us know which ones you got.


I'm getting out of here right now, and you guys are invited. -----^

While we're on the subject, did you know about the "3D" monitors like this one:

I remember reading about a headset "goggles" w/ dual LCD screens (one in front of each eye) and a motion-tracker that worked like the mouse in FPS games, so that it would actually track your head movements and move the view accordingly. The cool thing was that they were no larger than eDimensional's goggles, although they were expensive, and offered no true depth-of-feild. Imagine wearing those w/ a set of surround sound headphones...i'd never leave the house!

Yeah, really! There'd be no need to!

Cool stuff, isn't it?
