The more you legislate against unsafe behavior, the more people will reject taking responsibility for what they are doing. The issue is drivers causing harm to third parties. Lack of skill, stress at work, a flu, mother in law moaning in the back seat. Dog barking like crazy, GPS playing up at...

So when will we see stereo cameras on a flagship smartphone. Way overdue if you ask me.

Ok, this belongs in the fields of extremes but it is something I am actually building right now. I have an application for which I will have 9 screens in a 270 degree circle. Each screen will have a window with it's own 3D context (Google Earth plugin). The 3D context plugin's are all placed...

Just to be complete, I do have the option to select "Dual VGA output (Dep3D)" but all I ever get is a dual image side by side with some brown spots on it and a text telling me I should see 3D in the spots. This image is displayed on my Center monitor only. No matter what settings I apply, the...

Thanks for all that mate, much appreciated. I need to go out now but when I come back I have a more close look at those links. One question I didn't see answered so quickly. How do you configure the NVidea stereo driver to drive two LCD screens? I have a high powered PC with two 7900GT cards...

Fascinating project you are working on. Are you keeping a web-site to show progress? I like to hear more about it and see some construction pictures if there are any.

Yeah, that risk is surely there with cheap lenses. That is why there is such a huge price range $5 - $50000 No need for you to try because I already ordered 3 19" lenses for a 3 monitor setup of 19" WXGA LCD monitors. I hope to receive those in a few days. I am getting mine from 3DLens.com I...

Theoretically it is possible but you'd need really huge fresnel lenses. Their magnification will make it impossible for you to even see the entire screen since you are so close to it. However, you would have to do a rear projection because the lens needs to be between 7 and 12 inches away from...

Yes, back projection is an option but it needs a dedicated room and a large one at that. 3 meters behind the screen (Unless you use expensive mirror system) and 3 meters in front to stand. Point is, You don't want to be close to the screen because your eyes focus on something nearby which...

The article and my own response prompted me to do some experiments with Fresnel lenses. Check this out: http://www.rickleephoto.com/rlcoll.htm May people think Fresnel lenses just make your screen bigger. Yes it does that too but a much more important feature is the fact that it collimates...

I am in the simulator building business and also as an ex airline pilot always interested in simulation technology. Stereoscopy certainly has a role to play in a 3D experience. However, you are suggesting that standing/sitting in front of a large screen using a front projector is immersive. I...

I am looking at a quote right now that has the Gigabyte GA-8N SLI QUAD ROYAL mother board with two 7900GT cards hooked up to 4 WXGA 8ms(1440 x 900) LCD panels. The processor is a Pentium D 3.6ghz 960 and 2 Gig DDR2 ram. This setup is to power a simulator program I am developing that has...

I checked but it looks like this particular mobo won't support the Core 2 Duo processors. Gigabyte publishes a list of mobo's compatible with the new intel processor here and I don't see it listed. http://www.gigabyte.co.nz/FileList/NewTech/2006_motherboard_newtech/tech_20060707_core2duo_f.htm

I am looking at the Gigabyte GA-8N SLI QUAD ROYAL mobo to build a PC that is to run a simulator program. It will have 4 displays each displaying a 3D view into an OpenGL scene. What is better to power 4 displays... 2 x 7900GTX with 2 displays on each card. Card running on a x16 PCIe bus or...
