If you focus on the middle lower left side of this photo you'll see a slight hump just next to the lens that in fact is the IR receiver which is needed to synchronize the shutter speed with the IR transmitter. To the top right you can see a button. This is an on | off switch. The glasses will shut down automatically if not used by the way.
Did you spot the green LED? The LED lights up when you push the button. Green is a good charge, red to indicate they have only a couple of hours of gaming left in them. A charge lasts a very long time, roughly 40 hours of gameplay according to NVIDIA.

When we flip the glasses around we see the mini-USB connector needed to charge the battery. As stated, 40 hours of gameplay can be dealt with on a single charge. And it is said to take 4 hours for a full charge. it's a good solution, as there is no need to remove batteries etc.

So if I take a photo real fast we can actually see what the shutter glasses are doing... in an alternating sequence they block vision to one of your eyes.

At 120 Hz, each shutter glass will turn on/off 60 times per second completely synced to the output you see on your monitor.
Last week we arrived at Sin City not only to cover CES but there was something else going on as well. In Las Vegas, NVIDIA had organized a briefing for a select group of the press. From Europe perhaps ten to fifteen people where invited for this somewhat privileged preview -- the topic, a technical overview of project Fermi. Fermi is of course the family name of the latest generation of GPUs from NVIDIA. The first chipset deriving from Fermi will be called the GF100 GPU which will likely be used on what we think will be called products like GeForce 360 and GeForce 380. Join us in a nice technology preview.
NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision review
In this article we will test and review the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision stereo kit. NVIDIA teamed up with Samsung to optionally bundle 120 Hz LCD monitors with their all new 3D stereo shutter glasses technology. NVIDIA on their end got driver support up and going to a state where it's really good. Next to that, they redesigned the approach to the overall gaming experience. A set of shutter glasses that is wireless and rechargeable, games that are supported in the new drivers will automatically kick in 3D mode and next to that, NVIDIA really wanted a cool looking kit.
NVIDIA GF9300 (ECS GF9300TA) mainboard review
A test on the ECS GF9300T-A motherboard. Today NVIDIA is introducing their more budget conscious mainboard chipsets. The GF9300 and GF9400 based integrated graphics chipset motherboard products.
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra review
Today is the day that NVIDIA is launching it's GeForce 8800 Ultra. Now, NVIDIA tried to keep this product as secret as can be ... why ? Two reasons, to prevent technical specifications leaking onto the web. Secondly; obviously to change specs at the last minute. See ATI is releasing their R600 graphics card soon and the Ultra is the product that NVIDIA prepared to counteract in the market, an allergic reaction tothe R600 so to speak.
