I have no idea how well this will work, but nVidia has announced the addition of support for 3D glasses to their upcoming drivers. Supposedly it will work for all games (and presumably other 3D apps like SL), without developers having to make any changes at all. If it works, I'm betting SL'ers will probably come up with all sorts of ways to take advantage of it.

Thoughts?

I remember when "shutter glasses" were gonna take over the graphics world by storm. But after reviewers mentioned the headaches (literally) that come with it, it just kind of became a novelty.

'Twould be cool to have an improved version!!

Minus the headaches, eyestrain & goofy looking goggles :)

Sounds great! I'm switching back to Nvidia. I only bought the ATI cards because they were red.

3D games and movies make me feel nauseated.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

There was the genius that strapped a couple of WII IR trackers onto eyeglasses frames, and used the info from those to move the monitor POV. As you move your head to the right, you can see more of the world to the left of the monitor...like looking through a real window.

I want this product!
