3D Vision Question

Hi guys,
I'm getting a 3D vision ready monitor soon. Of course, I'd like to use 3D vision with it.

My question for you is:

Should I buy wired or wireless glasses?
For the wired glasses do you need the emitter?

To me, wired seems a bit better from the health perspective..
Also wired is cheaper

Thoughts?

TIA

Get the wireless. It will get annoying having a cable dangling from your glasses and you will lose immersion when moving around.

Back when I used to have a 3D vision I only had my glasses go dead on me once. I let it charge for a while (15min) and started using them again. I had 3D vision for a few years and charged the glasses maybe 3 times. . . I never really did use them and they mostly collected dust. Bad vision, lazy eye, and glasses ontop of glasses = not much 3D fun

Dude that sucks :O

I'm still leaning towards wired tho.... 50 euros is a lot to pay just for some IR emitter.

Eew if there is a 50 euro price difference then I would just deal with the cable. It should be small and lightweight anyways.
 
#13 ·
It's not the batter i'm worried about - it's the 50-60 quid extra it costs ^^
Poll is up!

Go for the wireless ones since no health problems are imposed by infra red spectrum unless directed at your eyes ( wich in this case is not ) or high modulation frequencies ( not applicable here or any house hold appliances ). 50 Quid is a lot so ask yourself this : Can you pay for it ? Yes ? Then go for it. Do you have to raise more money or buy other stuff too ? Then go wired. I would go for wired since it's not VR so you move around the room shooting stuff, you still sit down at the computer so the cable won't be a nuisance.
 
#15 ·
Ok... probably going for wired. Again, I do NOT need an emitter for wired, right?
 
#16 ·
Yes 100% no emitter.
 
#19 ·
Anyone know a good deal for wireless then ^^? 130 Quid is ... well... a lot.
 
#21 ·
Going Wired.... I don't like the idea of dropping 130 quid and then having some emitter on the desk... plus, knowing myself, i'd misplace the wireless ones and find a hole in the glass xD

Is there any difference in performance or effect in the wired/wireless battle?

Also, does this increase GFX card heat?

Thanks guys.

Or should I wait for 3D vision 2 hmmm

The "additional stuff" in 3D Vision 2 over 3D Vision is an absolute joke. No point waiting around. Plus, you need a 3D Vision 2 certified monitor (LightBoost crap) and that means you have much less choice.

Something tells me you're going to hate the USB cable dangling off your glasses. Perhaps not the first few days, but later on...

Well I think you answered you own question.

If you are trying to get a perspective from other 3D vision owners I'd say wireless for most of the reasons stated. In all honesty the freedom of movement is huge. That's just my two cents.

The extra cost is a drop n the bucket after the price of a 120Hz monitor. Though after trying a 120Hz monitor even if I wasn't going 3D it be hard to go back down to a 60Hz after seeing the difference.

Good luck and let us know which you finally went with.
