A new dimension at play!
Want to spice up your movie or gaming
experience? Opt for NVIDIA's 3D vision kit to add that dash of unmistakable
thrill. To get going, you'll need the 3D vision Kit comprising of the IR
emitter, Active shutter glasses, 3D vision certified display and a NVIDIA
GeForce Video card with all 3D vision drivers. A monitor capable of producing
120Hz is also required. These displays are armed with ultrafast response times
and refresh rates for a smooth gaming experience.

3D Vision 2 Wireless Glasses kit Unboxing
Earlier, we were a bit skeptical about
active shutter glasses in terms of their ergonomic factor, but after
experiencing the 3D Vision 2, our opinion has changed a bit.
The 3rd Generation of 3D Vision offers
better 3D image quality with less ghosting experience. With Light boost
technology, the user can also experience brighter screen and ambient lighting.
With a 20% larger lens and improved active shutter synchronization with the IR
emitter, the stress on one's eyes is also remarkably less.

The Infrared Transmitter box is a small
pyramid shaped box. The latest glasses which aren't the flimsy type like the
earlier version are the ‘active shutter' type which decide how to display
images based on a signal from the transmitter box.
Additionally, there are two USB cables, one
which connects the transmitter to the computer and the other is used to charge
the glasses when their internal battery runs out. In our experience, the
battery lasted for 60 hours' viewing at a time.

Various programs and drivers must be
installed from the Nvidia website to make the kit work, and the installation
was a tricky process. The software installed just fine but when we went through
the checks to enable 3D, it refused to accept that our test display an ASUS
VG278 27in LED display was compatible.
On a more positive note, we noticed that
the Light boost technology and the glasses show a marked improvement. In our
game playing experience, we noticed extra lights emanating from the sides, top
and bottom.
At present, there are over 500 games
available in the market, which support these new technologies. Firing up any of
these gave us a very impressive 3D image without any further tweaking required.
There are also 3D videos and pictures available, many of which are listed on
the 3D Vision Live website.
Our overall experience was impressive and
way better than the previous versions. The viewing is large and more
comfortable and the collection has just become bigger. Installing the product
is not a cumbersome task as each step has been explained in detail.
All
in all, NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 is way ahead of the earlier version.
