I was at central computer today in SF and I got to try out the GeForce 3D Vision glasses. I gotta admit, those things are pretty cool. Once you get over the fact that you're putting 3d glasses on and look like a giant dork, they work pretty well. I dunno if its worth 200 bucks, but it's definitely an interesting gaming perspective. 3D is in fact, 3D. I was most impressed with Far Cry 2, where things literally looked like they were popping out of the screen! Those who have tried them, what do you think?
 
huh..
.
if it make the game half fps, I really don't think it worth a try...

also the monitor that support it are quite rare....

or I should say.....only few type of monitor support it lol
 
have you tried them? I'm just saying its pretty neat. I'm not getting them though :)
 
Haven't tried it yet, but I would love to do so. Both as a (casual) gamer and game developer it seems like a nifty system. Sure, it's basically an evolved version of the shutter glasses we had years ago, but this time it seems to work even better.

120 Hz divided by 2 is 60 Hz, which is acceptable on both a CRT and 120 Hz LCD screen (I heard nothing about Plasma screens...). Sign me up for trying the thing :D
 
I've been using them for a while now...it's really hard to play games without them because the effect is so good. It's really hard to explain how awesome it is without experiencing it. Everything seems like it's a solid object you can grab. Your WoW characters come out of the screen and you can see every detail of the armor at every angle like it was a hologram or something. I've been playing a lot of Burnout Paradise and Dawn of War 2 lately and the 3D really adds to the experience.

If you have an old system, it will kill it. But pretty much everything runs smooth on my system...core i7 Oc'd to 4ghz and a 9800gx2. I even switched my monitor from a 47" 1080p lcd to the 22" 120hz lcd because I love the 3d so much.
 
I would love to see the thing in person first.

Reason, I have a 30 inch Dell that would need to go, I have a 4870 ATi that would need to be replaced, and I am still running XP (just waiting on Windows 7 now).

I don't live close to a place that has it on display.
 
I remember getting something like these from a place at my computer show.....in 2000. I doubt it did it the same way nVidia does it. I do know that playing games in 3D was very interesting and cool. The support was lacking though. If I remember right, they were for 3Dfx glide and didn't work with D3D.

I think bit-tech did a good job with their article:
