Real 3-D Headsets

Enjoy 3D Digital, Special Effects at Home!



This unit harnesses the power of 3D and brings it right into your own living room... faster than you can say WOW! After years of research, a group of scientists and engineers have finally achieved what many have considered to be the impossible: Convert a standard 2D video image into a true, holographic-like 3D projection - in real time. What this means is that you can now watch virtually all of your favorite TV shows and sporting events, your entire collection of VHS and DVD movies, your entire library of home videos and play every video game you have ever owned - and do it ALL in Real 3D!



We now offer for both our US and UK locations.  Please note, all orders that ship from the US ship with a 110V power supply. All orders that are for Europe automatically ship with a 220V power supply. We recommend an NTSC supported television and DVD player over PAL and no LCD, projection or plasma screens.



How It Works:

The unit receives an ordinary video signal through a wire from your DVD, or Game console. It then sends the converted 3D Video signal through a wire to your TV set. The Converter System performs complicated mathematical algorithms which convert standard 2D video into Real 3D that can be viewed by watching your TV with the included 3D Headsets. It does this by creating separate and distinct left eye and right eye images on your TV screen and displaying those images in an alternating format. The wireless 3D headset included with this system operate by receiving an infrared signal transmitted from the converter box. The lenses of the headset open and close in sync with the televised images ensuring that your left eye sees only the left eye image and vice versa, thus producing true stereographic 3D!



3D Headset is a plug and play unit so it's easy to hook up, just like a DVD player. However, it does have several buttons that are used to enhance the 3D experience. The Input button is set for the type of signal coming into the converter (Game system, 2D Video or 3D Video). The Output button allows you to switch between seeing a 2D or 3D video image. The Phase Adjust button switches between left-eye-first or right-eye-first video viewing. The Parallax (<>) buttons are used to increase or decrease depth perception and the Program Mode button allows you to choose from 4 video source presets


^ that's news to me; anyone else hear of this before? I know there's like a more "classic" controller, and a rifle-like controller... but the 3D glasses/goggles/whatevah, didn't know about them.

LOL this thread is a perfect example of geeks gone wild. Not to put anyone down here, but it is quite humorous looking in from an outsider POV. Only geeks would debate things like this to the extent that we are, great job fellow geekers!

Now my 4 cents (already added two)

When it comes right down to it there are a few things that are important:

1) How do you load the medium into it (Top, front, Side?)
2) Where do your peripherals plug into (Top, Front, Side?, better yet wireless)
3) Where do your cables hook upto it, what cable options are available (HDMI, Optical, or mass amounts of component and RCA cables?)

Here?s something i bet no one though about, how big do you think the AC converter is for the Wii? The 360 AC Converter is probably bigger then the Wii

Really i think the 3 points above would affect my decision on positioning it more then size alone, size is an afterthought after i have satisfied all of the above.

And yes ALL things being the same, i would buy the smaller one (who wouldn?t?)
