okay this post is dedicated to gamers and tech freaks alike.

and some porno addicts if that really is the case....

Have you ever thought of playing games in FULL 3d? as in... things appear to POP OUT of your screen? kinda like a holographic image....

and for some nifty tricks, you can have some of your pictures... of maybe ur boyfren or that girl u like (nearly undressed lol) appear to be right infront of you... so much so that u think you can actually reach out and um... do stuff?

Well if u did, so did i. If u didnt, well you should. and if you are on the fence, get down!

its been a year since i got this stereo 3d glasses from eDimensional for about 150 dollars plus shipping. It took me a lot of lying to get his.. lol... father was on the bed lying down iw as pestering him, twirling all around just to get his credit card details lol.

Its ony recently that i managed to figure this thing out (cos not much troubleshooting help is available as of these times...) and i finalyl got it to work, reliably!

I'm telling you, this technology is so simple, but diffiult to pull off!

first let me show you what happens to my screen when i turn on the stereo 3d feature.

Okay its not that LAME.... i cant find a picture online that represents whts onscreen but just cut these two images, superimpose them on each other. that's how it looks like.

EDIT!!
OKAY OKAY TRY THIS!!!! LOOK AT THAT PICTURE ABOVE..... okay... now bring ur head a bit lcoser to the screen... now CROSS YOUR EYES till somehow... you see THREE pictures, CLEARLY, SIDE BY SIDE. Now... focus... slowly... do you SEE 3D?!!?!? LOL!!!! TRY IT!!!

ok so u see what happens really, is that the screen produces TWICE the 3d image shown onscreen, with a bit of perception alteration between them. This is called err..... something-somehting-multiplexing....
ok so basically the screen produces two SEPERATE images, flip flopping with each other really fast that it looks as if the picture has been superimposed but it's not. I was running this game on 120HZ which means 60hz per screen. But whtever... technical details may not fancy you. lol.

So then, this glasses, it also does the same thing. Let me xplain. Now, this galsses are actually just tinted a bit. but then, a wire is connected to each lens. when electricity is passed through the wires, to the lens, the lens magically turns dark. As in, DARK. It works like the LRT windows i think.... you know... where all of a sudden that window turns opaque so that you cant see that bloke wanking in his room.

i think they call this technology... Liquid Crystal Shutter (LCS)

So the two speerate images produced on ur screen are actually meant for each eye, the left eye and right eye. And if u consider your dick having an eye (for the guys..) then omg sorry u cant see stereo 3d. LOLZ!! ahem..

so when the image onscreen is meant for the left eye, the right lens of the glasses turns dark, blocking MOST of your view. Then this alternates between the other side.. really fast.... that you start to see things in REAL 3d. I quik look up on this and the method this glasses are using is called Page-Flipping.

I think it makes more sense if you understand that both your eyes dont look at things the same way in real life. Each eye sees an object in a slightly ifferent perspective than the other, rite? Riiiiight....

Such a simple theory right?

but then again, the problem with this technology is that it's VERY VERY VERY troublesome to synchronise the darkening of the lenses and image onscreen. As well as creating that ultra-dark lens.

because there's this phenomenon called "ghosting" common in consumer stereo 3d tehcnolgy today. Basically you see a faint image mean for the other eye appearing... it gets irritating sometimes.... because you cant discern some object on screen..

Ive played Counterstrike (OMG... i'm an arcade player?!!?), IL2 Sturmovik, Operation Flashpoint.... bla bla bla.. basically i dug up my old games just to try this stereo thingy...... and i'm very very impressed.

but there are some setbacks... well... nto some.. A LOT... really.... with playing in stereo. You have to compromise a lot of things.

For games, your frames per second dwindles to LESS THAN HALF on some games. That's one of them.... then there's ghosting.... and overworking of your graphics card.... driver issues.... Directx and OpenGL stuff...

Could you imagine... hmmm... like.... for fps gamers like me, shooting without the crosshair is POSSIBLE.... well it's always been possible but as in really... shooting... BY INSTINCT... IT's true! just look around... find that guy, give him a shot or two as you would in real life (lol...) and he's dead.

but nowadays, people use ironsights. Works as well. Flick up the sight, and before the other guy playing in 2d could line up his shot, you've already killed two fascist bastards! whee!

and i guess distance perception kicks in here as well.

I tried watching some pictures in 3d as well (naturally... some naughty pics... and a few cars... lol ) and yes... though it works... it's not that 3d as you would expect from pictures that werent intended for stereo 3d viewing. What i got usually were like.... you know those paper cut outs? it's like having paper cut outs placed at different distances in my screen. .... irritating for me cos i hate paper cut outs... heh...

otherwise those pictures taken with stereo 3d in mind (which is, really, taking two pictures with slightly different persepectives) do in fact pop out in some way.

But all in all... this thing's meant for gaming and should very well be.

You can check out their eDimensional's webbie at www.edimensional.com.

If you're thinking of buying it, please, be prepared for a lot of cursing and swearing and evil intentions of throwing this thing away. I did. Lucky i didnt.

oh and if that isnt enough, you need at least a 20 inch monitor capable of producing 100HZ or more in the resolution you love playing games (mine is a 19incher, playing at 1280x760)

And just ot make sure, come on down to muh place and see it for yourself....

Warcraft with 3d aint bad at all lol...
