Do some research.

We do also need to note that, while no one got an instant headache, everyone who tested our setup felt a little bit of eye strain and slight pressure between the eyes after as little as 15 minutes of play. One of our testers reported nausea following the gaming session, though she happens to suffer from motion sickness so this may have played a part in it. Of course, that's also very relevant information as no one wants to take dramamine before gaming.

I did, and i have also seen my share of positive responses. IE people thinking "flat" screens are dull compaired to the glasses.



also note that TV was also suppoed to give you headacke right?

I think it's little more than a novelty. Is it really worth the $400+ price of admission? A couple hundred for the glasses, an extra couple hundred (over the price of a regular LCD) for a 120Hz LCD. I would like to try it for myself but I highly doubt the payoff justifies the cost.

Do you have a few million sitting in the bank just for your toys? You soon won't... Most people on this site care about 'bang for the buck'. The 3D glasses just don't offer any compelling reason for that value judgement. You, on the other hand, probably think that an Nvidia 295 is the greatest thing since sliced bread... Go drink some more NV kool aid. You fail..

80% of the population has some degree of motion sickness.

Back in the late 80's VR (Virtual Reality) was the big buzz phrase but there is a reason it faded over the last 20yrs (see above). Nvidia's 3D thing is little more than an attempt to sell more video cards. The people with more dollars than sense will buy it and all the others with ideas like "that would be cool" will buy Nvidia video cards thinking someday they will have a complete 3D system.

The technologies for 3D and Virtual Reality have existed for quite some time but the market is so small that it's not a smart financial move for any company to develop products for the market. The thing is that in Nvidia's case, they have nothing to lose. The glasses cost pennies to make and they sell them for $200 and the prospect of playing games in 3D will encourage some people to buy their video cards. So regardless whether it takes off or not, Nvidia makes money. Not to mention the prospect of these pseudo-new technologies cause the uninformed to believe that Nvidia's the best which causes them to blindly follow and buy some of Nvidia's poorer products such as their chipsets.
