Wall-Sized 3D Displays: The Ultimate Gaming Room

3D Stereo Inverter (for The Nvidia Stereoscopic Driver)

As mentioned above, Nvidia drivers do not currently include an option to invert the 3D effect for use with a projector. This results in terrible visual anomalies when using the Nvidia stereoscopic driver with a DLP projector.

The only known solution is a hardware stereo projection converter. Using this converter with the eDimensional signal transmitter results in proper 3D images displayed from the DLP projector. A stereo projection converter can be purchased from www.3Dflightsim.com for under $100.

The folks at 3Dflightsim also offer a high-powered stereo projection emitter for about $400. This amplifier not only allows you to fix the parallax inversion, it is powerful enough to broadcast the wireless signal to eDimensional glasses up to 35 feet away. This means that the more wireless glasses you own, the greater the number of people who can share the experience! This is a really useful piece of equipment if you are setting up a 3D demonstration for a large audience.

There we have it: everything we need for quality stereoscopic wall-sized 3D projection. Now we have the pieces of the puzzle, but how hard is it to put together?

    I bought the Acer P1303W its awsome for the price. You do have to go through a computer to get the 3D to work. I have a AMD FX 6 core proccesor and ATI 6770HD card that supports 3D. I then bought a Blu Ray 3d Internal Burner from LG for 77 bucks which is really nice. I got the Expand x102 Active glasses they are price well and look great. I thought i was screwed when the 3d didnt work when i put a blu ray 3d movie in and played it thru my Projector. My resolution was correct and at 120hz. I found out after messing around for about an hour that the software that came with my Blue Ray 3d player didnt work with my projector which is POWER DVD 9. I found a program called TotalMedia Theatre 5! As soon as i installed it and played the blu ray 3d movie and turned the glasses on everything worked!!! I had to adjust a few settings but nothing major. Dont forget not all projectors have to go thru a computer to work but you will prob pay more for them.
