The glasses are relatively comfortable,
and seem to be well constructed. The package comes with 2
different sets of bows for different sizes of heads to
ensure a good, comfortable fit. I would defiantly advice of
wearing in a dark room, with nobody in sight, because they
are sure to ignite a little bit of harassment due to the
nerdy look (my kids tore me apart). After testing, I dropped
them a few times to check for strength, and they didn’t
break.
The entire installation process was
quite simple, and the hotkeys make tweaking the settings
very convenient. The first game I tried was Jedi Outcast,
which is an Open GL based game using the Quake 3 engine. I
checked the game list, and fired the game up. One thing you
need to remember is that your monitor might not support
stereo 3D with the same resolutions and refresh rates
you’d normally use, so try starting low and increase as
you go on. I found the 3D effect to be simply amazing; these
glasses provide the best 3D images I have ever seen on a PC,
including those output by the DTI 3D LCD I reviewed in the
past.
The images looked very cool, and I spent
about 10 minutes gawking at my new surroundings. After
playing around with Jedi Outcast, I was ready for more. I
checked the supported game list, and just about every game I
had was listed there.
There is a very nice selection of
supported titles, and also a link to request a game that’s
missing from the list. I chose Motocross Madness 2 for my
next adventure, notably because it’s based on Direct3D and
wanted to see how that worked. The 3D images looked great
here too, especially after a bit of tweaking. Overall, these
glasses are very easy to use and offer beautiful 3D
environments for every game I launched.
After
going through about 20 different games, my feelings from the
beginning have not changed. Racing games look impressive,
and flight simulator 2002 looked incredible. These glasses
make PC games fun again and actually kept me glued to it for
quite sometime (which is not an easy task due to the Xbox
sitting right next to my computer). It takes a lot to
impress me, and this product really did.
