This is how the final 3D Vision Discover anaglyph glasses should look like and from what we can see they won’t be much different than the normal paper anaglyph glasses, besides being black and Nvidia branded. This teaser picture is coming from Andrew Fear, the product manager for 3D Vision at Nvidia (again thanks to twitter), so it should be the real thing. Still no information how and when we will be able to get the 3D Vision Discover glasses to actually compare them to a pair of normal paper anaglyph glasses and see if there is any difference or not. Meanwhile don’t forget that 3D Vision drivers come with a free anaglyph mode (3D Vision Discover) that is usable even with normal paper anaglyph glasses so if you have any of these lying around you should check it out…

I’ve already written about the 3D Vision Discover anaglyph glasses that Nvidia is going to start distributing very soon as an easy and affordable solution to try 3D stereo, before going for the advanced and expensive solution provided by GeForce 3D Vision and 120 Hz display. Today I’ve decided to try how well with the free anaglyph mode work when using some generic paper and plastic anaglyph glasses that I already own while waiting to see Nvidia’s optimized anaglyph glasses. I’ve previously used these different types of anaglyph glasses with other software solutions such as IZ3D’s drivers and others where the anachrome anaglyph glasses got the best results. Imagine my surprise when I’ve tried the 4 different types of glasses in the picture above… you can say that the best result I was able to achieve was with the plain paper glasses, but the other plastic solutions that are more expensive and better designed also performed very well too. Anyway, the results from trying different anaglyph glasses with 3D Vision only mean that you should be able to enjoy the added level of depth perception using 3D stereo with just about any type of plain paper anaglyph glasses… ;)
