WEHT Virtual reality headgear?

Btw, if you use a stereoscopic display, you'll see what you usually see
- a worldview with weak depth perception. You're not disadvantaged more
than you usually are. I expect that would go for the "no glasses" LCD
screens as well.

Yeah, but if using these new "no glasses" 3D displays is anything
like watching a 3D movie without glasess, I will pass on them.

I do have some depth perception, but it takes a certain degree of
concentration for me to use it reliably. So most of the time I don't.
I can see things like a Viewmaster after some concentration, but
I've never got a magic eye picture to work. 3D movies are hit or
miss. Sometimes I see 3D, and other times I just see wierd colors or
double images.

One project that looked interesting was using a fresnel lense to
create collumated light on a monitor. Supossedly it makes objects
look like they are farther away (because the eyes don't have to focus
at all), but not in the traditional "3D stereoscopic" method. Of
course, I imagine using a very large monitor and a long viewing
distance would have the same effect.

Ah, but when you do the latter, you get both views in the same eye
- the glasses are supposed to separate them. A "no glasses" LCD display
should separate the views equally well, i.e. if you're using any stereo
technology correctly, each eye only sees one picture with as little
"crosstalk" from the other eye's picture as possible. This hinges
entirely on the stereo technology and not on the viewer's eyes.

miss. Sometimes I see 3D, and other times I just see wierd colors or

Which is why I said with a stereo driver for your PC, you can adjust the
virtual distance of your eyes and the angles, making the stereo effect
more pronounced (or less!).

Indeed, that looks interesting.
