Stereoscopy at home

[Update 06 Nov 2009: All of this is probably outdated due to the recent nVidia 3D Vision system which works with cheap screens and projectors. There are still some nice setups to have fun with !]

[Update 08 Jan 2009: Added a guide to "setup a 3D projection system with classic NVidia Drivers"]

[Update 20 Nov 2008: Added a possible way to have up to date nVidia drivers with stereo]

[Update 17 Nov 2008 : Added list of stereoscopic drivers]

I’ve found some pretty interesting material about professionals and enthusiasts building up stereoscopic displays for home use:

- “Setting Up a 3D Projection System With Classic NVIDIA Drivers” by Mark S. Mikunas.

- 3D Flight simulator has a lot of information about affordable stereoscopic displays, projectors, 3d-DLP TVs, and tutorials on how to setup your system.
- Here’s a forum which lists a lot of “cheap” projectors to do active stereo.
- Here’s a very recent pdf (aug 06) about the use of LCD monitors and DLP projectors for active stereo. The bottom line: no lcd monitor is good, lot of dlp projectors are good.

- By the same author, more recent, a technical paper about “The compatibility of consumer DLP projectors with time-sequential stereoscopic 3D visualisation” and a list of the results.

- A Stereo Emitter with long range and adjustable frame delay.

- A nice article at tom’s hardware : Wall-Sized 3D Displays: The ultimate gaming room

- Infos about DLP 3D HDTV & HD Projectors

- Stereoscopic drivers : IZ3D Drivers, TriDef Drivers, Vuzix Drivers , nVidia Stereoscopic drivers

- How to have nVidia Stereo drivers with recent drivers.
