Hello everyone,

I finally have ARToolkit working on a PC system using the Logitech
Quickcam 3000 Pro and displaying the initial desired VRML file.  I am now
ready to proceed with the goggle display.  Could someone please suggest
a mono or stereo goggle known to work with ARToolkit 2.52 on a PC?
Thank you!

Regards,

David K. Drum

People recommended me i-glasses SVGA (www.i-glasses.com) so I bought
them. That's the only one of the kind I ever used so can't compare to
other products. There are some minor problems: one of the mirrors seem
to be badly fixed so the image shifts when you nod your head. Also, the
quality of the ear piece seem bad and it looks like it was going to
break soon. As for something that's over 600 bucks, they could have made
it solid. But the picture quality is good and I had no technical
problems with it, nor any problems installing it.
They have a stereo version of it too, way more expensive.

I have use the stereo i-Glasses SVGA with AR-Toolkit, though so far this 
has only been in non-stereo. They do work but I have the same 
complaints...mirror arrangements limit flexibility. It is hard (for me) to 
get both images aligned and there are no provisions if you need to use 
glasses (at least that I could figure out). Image quality is nice due to 
the higher resolution. To do stereo with the NVidia cards we use, you need 
the more recent stereo control panel drivers.

Any word out there on camera calibration utilities that can work with 640 X 
480 cameras rather than the hard coded 320 X 240?

Hi David,

For the low-end the Sony Glasstron PLM-A35 is a good choice. They are
non-stereo glasses but are lightweight and you can buy them for about $300
on ebay.

www.i-glasses.com is a good source for glasses as well.

Hope this helps..
