Suggestions for mobile 3D gaming?

Post by threequadfive »

Hello everyone.

I've long been a user of 3D glasses. I started with anaglyphs and went to elsa's old 3D glasses system long ago and then it all sort of dropped out of view so to speak, but now here I am again!

I have a notebook (Acer Aspire 4530, with an Nvidia Geforce 9100M chipset), and am looking for a decent 3D glasses setup. I am using Windows 7 X64 if that throws any kinks into the equation....

I own a few pairs of professional anaglyph glasses (red/cyan), and recently installed the Zalman Stereoscopic drivers on my notebook, but they refuse to enable..even though I'd like to just muck around with anaglyph again.

I just tried the iz3d drivers but they actually cause Win7 to stop loading explorer after installation, so that was a no go.

Any suggestions?

Unfortunately anaglyph is your only option for using the laptop screen.

I recommend the Pro-Ana glasses:

You might also be able to use the VR920 headset to game in 3D.

It should be as simple as clicking the checkbox in the control panel. You may have to hit control-T while in game for it to start. Otherwise the iz3d driver are pretty good (at least on XP/Vista).

I'm running windows 7 64 bit and iZ3D drivers 1.10 and i's working like a charm.
I never had to deactivate UAC or whatever windows security mechanism. I just have the standard UAC message when installing new software and that's it.
