eDimensional "E-D" 3D-glasses

With a new stereo section we of course will also start a series of reviews on 3D Glasses. Today we want to bring you the first review of our Stereo section, the review of the eDimensional "E-D" shutterglasses.

We strongly recommend you to read our generic stereo article first as this will make you understand the technology a tad better.

First up, what can we tell about the company that is called eDimensional:

So let's see what multimedia experience you can expect with their Stereoglasses shall we ?

eDimensional has sent us the wireless version of their Stereo3D shutterglasses which is quite a nifty gadget, no more wires from your PC towards your glasses. The wireless trend is growing rapidly and we for see a good and big future for wireless products.

the whole package

The package includes the following items:

  • a pair of E-D glasses

  • one VGA adapter

  • an infrared transmitter (DIN-3 IR-emitter)

  • a power adaptor for older video cards

  • the "quick start instruction guide"

  • two sets of bows for big and small heads :-)

  • two CDs with

    • 400MB of 11 different game demos
    • 100MB drivers and tools: several NVIDIA Stereo control panel versions (23.11, 26.50, 28.32), NVIDIA Display drivers, the Guru3D Detonator Destroyer :) and HZTool
    • the Wicked3D "H3D" driver CD, for use with non-NVIDIA videocards

We found it very interesting to find unofficial drivers on the CD, which we don't see as a bad point btw :) It simply shows they stay up-to-date.

The minimum system requirements to use the gear are:

- 233MHz CPU
- Win9x/ME, Win2k/XP
- CRT monitor
- standard 3-D accelerator vga card

So let's move on... and get this review started.
