Nvidia 3D Vision
Nvidia 3D Vision (previously GeForce 3D Vision) is a discontinued
The kit is specially designed for 120 Hz
Shutter glasses
The glasses use wireless IR protocol and can be charged from a USB cable, allowing around 60 hours of continuous use.[3]
The wireless emitter connects to the USB port and interfaces with the underlying driver software. It also contains a
Nvidia includes one pair of shutter glasses in their 3D Vision kit, SKU 942-10701-0003. Each lens operates at 60 Hz, and alternate to create a 120 Hz 3-dimensional experience.[1]
This version of 3D Vision supports select 120 Hz monitors, 720p DLP projectors, and passive-polarized displays from Zalman.
Stereo driver
The stereo driver software can perform automatic stereoscopic conversion by using the 3D models submitted by the application and rendering two stereoscopic views instead of the standard mono view. The automatic driver works in two modes: fully "automatic" mode, where 3D Vision driver controls Stereo Convergence (Pop Out) and Stereo Separation (Screen Depth), and "explicit" mode, where control over screen depth, separation, and textures is performed by the game developer with the use of proprietary NVAPI.
The
History
The roots of the Nvidia stereo driver can be traced to the software supplied with the wired ELSA Revelator shutter glasses from 1990s. Nvidia has acquired the technology and has provided support for various stereoscopic display technologies, including stereoscopic shutter glasses, with their own version driver which only worked with Nvidia graphics cards.
In 2008, Nvidia undertook major rewrite of the driver which was converted to use Windows Display Driver Model, making it only compatible with Windows Vista and Nvidia's glasses. The stereo driver was renamed as 3D Vision driver.
Discontinuation of support
On April 11, 2019, Nvidia announced that support for 3D Vision in drivers would be discontinued,[4] as well as support for 3DTV. Driver releases after version 425.31 do not include support for 3D Vision.
