Anyone try the nVidia's 3D glasses with games?

I saw them on sale at mircocenter. My friend has an older version. He said it was ok for some games but didn't deal with HUDs well.

For a cheaper version, provided you have an nvidia GPU, is to simply do this: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/h...your-games-in-real-3d/

Yes it does. It works pretty good.

Does that only work with the colored 3D glasses? I have a pair of the polarized ones from the movies.

Yes it does. It works pretty good.

I've always wondered - does the color of the game get messed up looking through the different colored lenses?

Yes. I tried this and it works pretty poorly. The image separation doesn't work very well at all.

Im still hoping to try this.. Apparently i don't have any 3D glasses anywhere anymore. Any suggestions on where i can get a pair? I already checked dollar stores, any where else i should look before ebay?

Hm, it worked pretty well for some image galleries I looked at online after I picked up the Super Bowl glasses, so I'm still willing to give it a shot.

Try here or here.

Looks like the kind of site you're wanting. A 30 second Google session worked wonders.

Sorry.. I guess i should have clarified. Im looking for a STORE that i can go get some. That way i dont have to deal with shipping a cheap item like that. Also, I dont need 50, so most of the online places (yes, i can use google) dont apply..

The blu-ray version of Journey to the Center of the Earth (Brenden Frasier) includes several pairs of red/blue glasses.

are you talking about the blue lense red lense 3d glasses?

if you are why dont you just get a pair of glasses from an op shop pop out the lenses and wrap some celophane around the eye sockets?

crude yes, but it gives you a chance to try it out, and if it works and you like it then invest in some propper glasses.

I used stereo glasses years ago. Is that what they are now as well?

I actually have done this using a marker for coloring. It worked, but the color wasnt a constant fill so it wasnt perfect. It looked good enough to convince me to give it a try with some cheap 3D glasses.. Ebay is probably going to be my source, that way i can sell extras to my friends

Yep.. thats what they are now

I bought some for about $10 on ebay. Worth the novelty of seeing people's faces when you tell them you can play games in 3D and then show them, IMO.

The ultra-cheap 3d glasses from eBay work great with L4D.

Newegg was selling some for $200 and they had 5 star ratings, even for older games. They only complained about games that had the "film grain" effect.

If these ever get to a really good stage I will invest in them for FPS and flight sim games.
