Features and function will differ
depending on which type of 3D accelerator your system is
equipped with. A compatible game list can be checked at the
eDimensional
home page. Not all games work on all cards. Now let’s
take a look at system requirements for gaming.
-
Windows 95/98/ME and 2000/XP support
for NVIDIA chipsets
-
CRT monitor (no laptops or LCD
screens)
-
Minimum 70Hz refresh rated monitor
Installation was very easy, especially
with the well written instructions included in the box.
Hookup is done through a VGA adaptor that plugs directly
into your video card. Your monitor is connected to the
output of the adaptor, and your glasses plug into the rear
of it. Initial setup took me about 3 minutes, and was
effortless. The glasses come in two flavors, wireless and
wired version, I’ve got the latter one.
Next, it’s required to install the
software included and stereo drivers for your particular
card, which can usually be found on the manufactures website
or the included installation disk. If you are using a NVIDIA
card, I’d highly recommend using the latest drivers
available to make sure you have the latest updates for
glasses usage. When using a card other than NVIDIA, you will
need to install the ‘Wicked’ drivers included on the
disk. After completing the installation process, a system
reboot is required.
The software installs an applet found in
your display panel properties, which can be accessed through
the advanced button. Here, you can turn on/off 3D and assign
hotkeys that will enable you to define different settings to
enhance your 3D experience.
Here are the specifications of the
system I used the glasses with:
