Did you guys actually read the link? This does not use Nvidia's active 3D glasses and does not need a 120Hz monitor. It's meant to use the cheap cardboard blue/yellow glasses they were giving away for free before the superbowl for watching the 3D commercials.

I find those 3D glasses distort the colours too much though. I'd prefer ones that don't rely on coloured filters.

I was just commenting on how meadowla and L1qu1d clearly did not read the article you linked based on their comments.

I agree with you on this. If you're going to use passive glasses then the polarized ones are definitely the way to go. That being said I don't think you could use those on a computer as I seem to recall that they need to use 3 projectors in theaters to make them work right.

If you read my post I was commenting on the previous person's comment. Its funny how u missed his and skipped to mine. Maybe you should read too;)
He commented the glasses so I added my opinion about the glasses. Only think I posted about the article was the nice find:)

That's because he doesn't capitalize his name either. Sorry for the confusion at any rate.

Have you tried with colour glasses.... i've tried it.... it make a lot of headache....
Better get nVidia Stereoscopic viewer(glasses).. and those glasses are expensive.. 3D glasses increase shutter rate according to the display..
OR
Get Zalman ZM-M220W LCD monitor.......

For Radeon 3D drivers:

With ATi, if you want to check 3D view(as how it look like), try this:

 

Download driver from here.

 

And install it. In settings change to ATi Radeon display.

 

Then download and install this.

 

And watch the image using red-blue glass. You will find the grasses(bushes), trees and rocks appear as 3D objects.
