As an aside, I was contacted by edimensional about running an advertising
campaign on RSC in association with publishing a review of these glasses.
They offered a 10% referral fee for anyone who bought a set of glasses via a
link from our website. We decided not to reply to the e-mail since we only
publish reviews for items which the reviewer actually owns.
Cheers

Thanks for the tip
same here, they are bulky feeling and really not realistic.

As for a 10% commission on every one sold, that is correct, eDimensional
contacted me and offered this as an incentive to get a review posted
(reviews do actually take a long time to plan, write, check, re-check, post,
and check another couple of times!). However, our review was NOT ever
"biased" because of this incentive, as we operate on a "fair and balanced"
review policy - Thought i'd just clear that up, and if you get yourselves a
pair i'm sure you'd agree with my review.
Thanks (my first post on R.A.S in a long time!)

I didn't have a problem with flickering on my Asus glasses either, just set
refresh rate to 120hz and it was fine. I found anything on screen that was
in 2D was hard to read though and hurt the eyes. For example, the***pit in
N2002 will look 3D but all the guages will look slightly doubled and hard to
read, also everything in 2D onscreen feels really close to your eyes while
the 3D looks fine. This has the effect of making you try to focus on two
planes at once. That hurts the eyes too. They are fun for a while but they
are not good for long hours of ***, IMO.
That sounds exactly like my experience with the ASUS glasses - maybe these
newer ones are better. I can't really see them working well unless the
software is designed with them in mind.
I'll see if I can find a demo of Nascar 2002 and see what it's like :)

Well, they all work on the same principal so just how much better can they
be? I think it's the drivers that make the difference, I used Elsa's generic
drivers on the Asus glasses for a while and found I got much better OSD
control with their drivers and coul fine tune it better, but that never
helped the 2D stuff much. As you say, the games must be desinged with the
glasses in mind, anything that is completely 3D (including text) works quite
well.
OK . So i've checked all the comparisons of brands and the eDimension's
seem to be winning everyone over.
And most people seem to like the idea of wireless (makes sense) too.
But how different are the wired and wireless.
What powers the wireless (AAs ,watch batt. ??).
Which are more comfortable?
I wear prescription glasses is why so many questions.
Thanks
