1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,799
well I recently did a little video guide on how to install your NVIDIA GeForce

2
00:00:04,359 --> 00:00:11,440
drivers today I'm going to be doing a quick little guide on how to set up

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,880
NVIDIA stereoscopic 3D so the first

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:17,359
thing I'm going to do is adjust my white balance so you're actually going to be

5
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:23,160
able to read dialogue boxes that are on the screen aha there we go okay so the

6
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:26,760
first thing we've got here is the NVIDIA control panel so we're going to go into

7
00:00:24,599 --> 00:00:30,800
the NVIDIA control panel and we're going to discover something

8
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:40,120
when it loads yeah we are going to discover that I do not actually have any

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,920
options in here at all for 3D Vision or

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:47,559
stereoscopic 3D is what it would be under so the default drivers from NVIDIA

11
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:52,320
actually do not include 3D Vision drivers because I mean the reality of it

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:57,320
is 99% of people don't need it so you go to NVIDIA.com make sure you're always

13
00:00:55,559 --> 00:01:01,039
downloading the latest drivers for 3D Vision because it is quite complicated

14
00:00:59,239 --> 00:01:05,680
and they are making updates as often as they can so we select Windows 7 64bit

15
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:12,640
the same procedure as with your driver installation search and download it's a

16
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,159
300 megabyte full driver CD package and

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:20,479
since I've already downloaded it I'm going to go ahead and just run it so yes

18
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:23,680
I would like to run that particular

19
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:26,159
program go ahead and install the 3D

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:31,040
Vision driver so we click next I do not need the stereoscopic 3D viewer

21
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:34,960
personally but if you want it it by all means okay so it only takes a little

22
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:39,479
while to install actually and then the configuration

23
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:43,040
process is quite simple first of all you need to be wearing your I'm going to

24
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:48,280
just turn this thing you need to be wearing your 3D Vision

25
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:51,040
glasses okay next you need to make sure

26
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:55,520
that your IR emitter is plugged in via USB to the back of your computer so you

27
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:01,920
should see a dim green light and I'm going to show you the difference so okay

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,840
go ahead and finish okay y all right so

29
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,399
now we go into the NVIDIA control panel again and there's going to be an option

30
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:08,399
that we didn't have

31
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:17,760
before oh yeah your glasses should also be charged they charge via USB and the

32
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,959
uh power button is here so they should

33
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:27,800
be charged and on so we do not have an option for ah

34
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,160
here it is set up stereoscopic 3D so go

35
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:35,360
ahead and click there and then we're going to use the setup wizard because

36
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:38,959
just clicking enable stereoscopic 3D uh might not configure everything properly

37
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,040
I don't know I haven't tried but the wizard takes only a couple minutes to

38
00:02:40,519 --> 00:02:46,760
run and walks you through some of the stuff that you need to know about 3D

39
00:02:44,519 --> 00:02:50,239
Vision before you use it so first of all it gives you a little checklist for all

40
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,879
the things that you need to do for either 3D Vision or 3D Vision discover

41
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:59,000
which is a a red blue Ana

42
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:02,200
anaglyphic yeah I think it's anaglyphic anyway either way it's red blue lens

43
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:07,239
system rather than the active shutter glasses so we go ahead and click next

44
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,000
okay this shows us how to connect the IR emitter which I have already connected

45
00:03:08,799 --> 00:03:17,599
USB to the back of the computer it's quite straightforward okay we click

46
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:22,280
next and then you select the kind of gaming configuration that you'll be

47
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:23,959
using so single gaming computer in a

48
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:28,519
room running 3D Vision where there are not other consumer IR devices such as TV

49
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:31,920
remote control at the same time okay then you've got if you've got

50
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,439
interfering things in the room and then there's also multiple gaming computers

51
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:39,159
in a land gaming environment all running 3D Vision so that's where there would be

52
00:03:37,239 --> 00:03:44,599
a ton of interference because the IR emitter is actually just blasting out IR

53
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:50,120
signals that tell the uh the shutter glasses when to when to shut off when to

54
00:03:48,519 --> 00:03:57,159
when to blank the frame for one eye versus the other okay so the next step

55
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,239
now yeah you can't tell but my glasses

56
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:02,599
have actually gone quite dark so this is the step the glasses turn on so I'm

57
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:07,840
going to go ahead and let you look through the lens you see how dark the

58
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:10,040
screen is compared to there it's because

59
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,599
it's blocking out every other frame the monitor is running at its full 120 HZ it

60
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:19,840
is a 3D Vision ready monitor I hope I mentioned that you need one of those and

61
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:21,759
so press the onl look for a steady green

62
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:26,040
light on the glasses as well as on the emter so that's the bright green light

63
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:29,840
that I didn't show you before and there's no steady green light on those

64
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:33,639
for whatever reason but they're on trust me they're on okay so I'm going to go

65
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:39,639
ahead and put these back on okay so now that that's all figured

66
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:44,360
out our glasses are on the emitter is on we are seeing that the image is dark

67
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:48,440
this one so if I look close you see you can see both a green hexagon and a blue

68
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:54,960
triangle but I'm going to show you something interesting if you look through the right lens you see only a

69
00:04:52,880 --> 00:05:00,880
blue triangle if you look through the left lens you see only a green hexagon

70
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:05,120
so this is how 3D Vision Works there you can see both of them so it's blocking

71
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:09,639
every other frame so on the monitor every other frame is displaying that

72
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:13,919
green hexagon and every other frame is displaying the blue triangle so it's

73
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,840
blocking it so my left eye sees the left image my right eye sees the Right image

74
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:21,360
so for this part it says look through the right eye with the left eye closed

75
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,520
so we do that okay select what you see we see a blue triangle if you look

76
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:28,759
through the left eye with the right eye closed

77
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:35,000
we see a green hexagon so I'm going to go ahead and select those options blue

78
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,520
triangle green hexagon excellent uh this

79
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,199
one do I notice a flicker in your peripheral vision okay this helps you

80
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,280
configure it if you um if you're in a European area where they have 50 HZ

81
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,199
power or a variety of other things so no I do not notice a flicker in my

82
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:52,520
peripheral vision I go ahead and click next this is the last one verify that

83
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,800
you are able to view stereoscopic 3D content so here I'm going to show you

84
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,919
something interesting too select which of the following you see one with a box

85
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:03,919
popping out or one without a box box popping out right now you see one

86
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,479
without a box popping out but let's see what happens if we do this yeah that's

87
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,479
not going to work okay hold on if I hold these far enough away will I be able to

88
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:16,479
see the box at all this might be

89
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:20,400
tricky hold on okay so what I need is I need the glasses as close as possible to

90
00:06:18,919 --> 00:06:26,280
where the Box pops up no this isn't going to work okay well you're going to have to trust me then uh I can see it

91
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,240
this way right here also I have red and understand the

92
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,840
health and safety information this is one of the reasons I would definitely

93
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,800
recommend uh running the wizard so that you can make sure that you read and

94
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:41,520
understand that I click next and then that's it I don't want to

95
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:46,560
create a shortcut for that I don't want to launch a slideshow of 3D games then

96
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,199
you click finish so once that's done you

97
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,120
can see that the NVIDIA control panel has gone ahead and configured itself you

98
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:57,120
can uh you can change the maximum depth you can also do that with the SC uh

99
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:01,160
slider wheel on the back of the IR emitter when you're in game so you don't

100
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:05,280
have to change the the maximum depth on the driver level you can set your

101
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:10,000
keyboard shortcuts and you can test stereoscopic 3D it launches this

102
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:15,000
horrible horrible thing here I'll show you this is so old here it's pretty

103
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:19,080
funny actually it's the NVIDIA logo popping

104
00:07:17,479 --> 00:07:22,240
out at you it actually looks kind of funky on one monitor but when you

105
00:07:20,599 --> 00:07:29,520
stretch this thing over three monitors it's just just horrible this pink and

106
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:31,240
yellow and black and gray thing anyway

107
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:36,039
3D Vision is working on this system thank you for checking out my 3D Vision

108
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:40,280
setup guide don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech

109
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:45,479
tips oh yeah last thing make sure you have a video card that supports 3D

110
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:47,280
Vision um here's your first hint if

111
00:07:45,479 --> 00:07:55,639
you're running one of these it does not support 3D Vision ATI currently does not

112
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:57,960
have a stereoscopic 3D uh technology so

113
00:07:55,639 --> 00:08:03,080
you must be using an NVIDIA card 8800 series or higher in order to take

114
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,080
advantage of 3D Vision
