Play Empires In 3D

Get a pair of cheap 3d glasses. I ended up just buying Journey to the Center of the Earth on DVD. It comes with 4 glasses.

Download the iZ3D Driver

In the iZ3D control center, set the stereo output to Anaglyph. Choose between the optimized or non-optimized Red/Cyan output. The optimized kind is supposed to reduce ghosting which is where you'll see a hint of the other eye's view in each eye.

Start up Empires or any other game. Press the key to turn on the effect ( * by default ). Use the plus and minus keys to increase or decrease the effect.

Be wowed. Quit shortly after with a headache.

 

O.O

now I need 3d glasses. >.< shoulda kept the ones they had at the IMAX.

 

but Empires is already in 3D

You're so silly Krenzo

 

red/blue 3d?

all i have are tented/untented 3d glasses (went last year to see nightmare before christmas 3d)

 

AAaahhh my head, god dammit krenzo... you'll pay for this!!!

 

Redcyan 3D isn't that great, you need iMax or whatever it's called to get the real picture.

 

Oh, so anyone can go to their local iMax theater and play their games in 3D? Do you ever have anything meaningful to say?

 

This looks very interesting.

 

You know you'd think they would release a pair of goggles or something with a little screen in each socket which you can wear, and they do full colour 3d properly.

I might have to build a pair or something.

With the right software and maybe dual-screen support on your graphics card you'd probably be able to get a good picture. You might even make them wireless or something.

 

You mean like these? http://www.edimensional.com/product...id=28&osCsid=ee81ea0c2a4fc1b921cbcd561c28cf3b

 

I had a pair of those 6 years ago. My CRT at the time only did about 85 Hz which is cut in half for each eye. Therefore, each eye only saw 42 Hz, and this would strain my eyes after a short time. Shutter glasses are obsolete now that everyone has a LCD monitor, and they don't work with LCD monitors. That's probably why Nvidia stopped supporting shutter glasses with their drivers.

 

I'm pretty sure I still have two pairs of 3d glasses that came packaged with the pack in software from the Packard Bell with windows 3.1 my parents bought in 1994.

 

Erm, not quite.

What I mean is a pair of full fledged goggles, with a small concave screen where each lens should be, and each screen renders the same image with a slight offset.

It's basically like taping a monitor to each eyeball and rendering the relevant image in each.

 

Oh you mean Head-Mounted Displays

Most of those are shitty 800x600 resolution goggles though, I found a Dutch SXGA (1280x1024) one:

Lol it costs 10K euros

 

That seems far too expensive for a pair of small screens with a headstrap.

 

Hey, you trying making HD-equivalent screens the size of a telephone screen lol

 

This is apparently the holy grail of HMDs with a price tag of $1500 at the moment (supposedly $1000 once they actually release):

Unfortunately, they keep pushing back the release date. The 800x600 definitely exists as those who preorder get to beta test the prototypes, but no one has seen the higher definition one yet.

 

if you don't have 3D glasses, you can make em out of a blue sweet wrapper and a red sweet wrapper

 

I'll go buy a box of quality street then.

 

the "3D" filter glasses don't work for me, one of my eyes is much more dominant then the other, so I only ever see green.
