Stereoscoptic Vision
Our software supports stereoscoptic vision using devices such as
the Planar system
(www.Planar3d.com)
You can use either the mirror system with two monitors or the
Nvidia 3D vision kit with the IR emitter and shutter glasses
with a single monitor such as the Planar SA2311W23 or SamSung Model
2233RZ or equivalent.
We recommend the nvidia quadro
fx 580 graphics card or higher for this function. If using
the IR Emitter and shutter glasses, the nvidia quadro fx 3700
or higher with the DIN connector will be a bit better.
Below are instructions
to set up the nvidia card for stereo for
Windows and
Linux.
Within the programs, when you have a 3D room view, under "Frame Control"
select "Options..." and then turn on stereo. If the Stereo option
is grayed out, then you did not get a stereo visual. Review set up
of your graphics card. See also Stereo in the user's manual
for System2100 under section "3D Views".
Below are instructions for the Planar mirror system, and
then for the single monitor with the Nvidia 3D vision kit.
We have had to reboot the computer after making
the selections on the Nvidia driver control, in spite of having
hit the "apply" button.
Windows
Planar Mirror System
Right click the desk top and select Nvidia control panel or select
the same from the Control Panel.
Select set up multiple displays:
Check mark both monitors.
Right click on the 2nd monitor and select as clone:
You will then see the two cloned together:
Then select Manage 3D Settings and enable stereo and
Use nView Clone mode:
Nvidia 3D Vision Kit with a single monitor.
Right click the desk top and select Nvidia control panel or select
the same from the Control Panel.
On the control planel select "Manage 3D Settings". Select Stereo
On, and "Stereo-Display Mode" "On-board DIN Connector (with Nvidia 3D Vision)"
for Nvidia quadro fx board with the DIN connector for a direct connection
of the IR emitter to the graphics board. Otherwise select
"Generic active stereo (with Nvidia 3D Vision)". You might also need to
download
and install from Nvidia the "3D Vision USB Driver for Quadro" if your
graphics board does not have the DIN connector. But the last time
we tried this we did not have to do so after loading the driver.
You must also select 120 hz for the refresh rate.
Linux
For the Planar mirror system.
You need to make the following selections in xorg.conf:
Option "Stereo" "4"
Option "TwinView" "True"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "clone"
Option "AllowDFPStereo" "True"
With nvidia-xconfig you can use the command arguments (all on one
/ine or do one at a time or use the continuation (\):
sudo nvidia-xconfig
-stereo=4
-allow-dfp-stereo
-twinview
-twinview-orientation=Clone
You will have to reboot the computer.
