More information >about Scitech Display Doctor can be found at http://www.scitechsoft.com/ The VBE 3.0 specs for shutter glasses are concerned with glasses that connect directly to the new "VBE 3.0 glasses port" (I do not know the official name) on the back of some current graphics cards. This is a 3-pin connector explicitly for the support of shutter glasses. The software specs in VBE 3.0 provides functions to enable page flipping and to control glasses connected to this port. Advantages: least CPU overhead; graphics card manufacturer supplies driver for glasses in VBE 3.0 (no glasses<->graphics card conflicts) Disadvantages: no Windows support (yet); VBE 3.0 software specs only work with page-flipped shutter glasses (no interlaced glasses, HMDs, polarized displays, ...); no VBE 3.0 glasses are available (yet) For more details, see Christoph Bungert's stereoscopic web page http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/bungert/ -Don Sawdai author, LCDBios -- -> The Generic .signature File (tm) <- -> Name : Donald Sawdai <- -> Address: dsawdai@engin.umich.edu <- -> Quote of the Day: "All work and no pay makes Jack a grad student." <-
