Stereoscopy

 
 
 

The sample add-in in this section enables stereoscopy in Showcase Professional. A pair of NVIDIA 3D Vision glasses and monitor supporting a 120 Hz signal are also required. In addition, you must enable 3D in a supported NVIDIA graphics card.

How it works: Showcase Professional in general has Stereo capability. It can generate separate images for the left and for the right eye if you switch to stereo mode after activating the add-in. With a monitor that is able to process a 120 Hz signal, the hardware splits that into two images per eye, each with 60 Hz. The NVIDIA 3D Vision glasses are active stereo shutter glasses, opening the view for the left and the right eye 60 times per second, in sync with the screen refresh. The effect is a 3D window into the Showcase viewport.
