Please Note: NVIDIA's 3D Vision requires a 120Hz compible monitor, and a compatible graphics card (see below), and will not display 3D on incompatible monitors or graphics cards.
NVIDIA 3D Vision Glasses
The latest in 3D gaming has finally arrived! The long-awaiting NVIDIA 3D Vision takes your gaming experience to a whole new level with true 3D graphics on all your favorite games. A simple USB port connects the transmitter to your computer. Have a Blu-Ray drive on your new computer? The NVIDIA 3D Vision also comes with a DVI to HDMI cable so you can connect a DLP HDTV to the NVIDA graphics card in your computer and view HD movies on a much larger screen. If you have a stand-alone Blu-Ray player, don't worry! The NVIDIA 3D Vision can also connect directly to a DLP HDTV via the VESA Stereo Cable Port. The headaches and slow frame rates associated with old 3D technology are now a thing of the past. The NVIDIA 3D Vision produces a refresh rate of 60Hz in each lens, providing smooth gameplay and video playback.
Forming the foundation for a new consumer 3D stereo ecosystem for gaming and home entertainment PCs, 3D Vision is a combination of high-tech wireless glasses, a high-power IR emitter and advanced software that automatically transforms hundreds of PC games into full stereoscopic 3D experiences. Designed to work with the new pure Samsung® and ViewSonic® 120 Hz LCD monitors, Mitsubishi® DLP® HDTVs, and the DepthQ HD 3D Projector by Lightspeed Design, Inc, 3D Vision unlocks crystal-clear, flicker-free 3D stereo imagery perfect for driving new experiences in 3D gaming, 3D movies, and 3D photography.
"Along with gaming innovations in Microsoft Windows and DirectX, NVIDIA 3D Vision proves there’s never been a better time to be a PC gamer," said Corey Rosemond, group marketing manager, Windows Gaming. "By including support for previously released and upcoming Games for Windows and Games for Windows -- LIVE titles, PC gamers can expect a new level of immersion in full stereoscopic 3D, and enjoy broad support for the hottest games."
The headaches and slow frame rates associated with old 3D technology are now a thing of the past. The NVIDIA 3D Vision produces a refresh rate of 60Hz in each lens, providing smooth gameplay and video playback.
The NVIDIA 3D Vision allows you to sit at a maximum distance of 15 feet from the transmitter and the glasses themselves have a battery life of up to 40 hours of 3D viewing pleasure before needing to recharge. Charging is simple. Just plug the supplied USB cable into the glasses and connect them to your PC. The driver software that NVIDIA supplies handles all the necessary synchronization.
Powered by NVIDIA GeForce GPUs, the number one choice of gamers worldwide, 3D Vision is the world’s highest quality stereoscopic 3D consumer solution, consisting of:

3D Gaming Has Arrived!

Remember when you first encountered BigDaddy? Imagine BioShock’s
BigDaddy stomping towards you, breaking out of the confines of your flat screen.
Now don’t just imagine it, but see it in smooth stereoscopic 3D. NVIDIA’s GeForce 3D Vision will open the wonders and
depth of Rapture, as well as many of your other favorite games. A completely new
sensory dimension is unveiled using NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision.
Feel like you’re diving into the inter-spatial teleporters in Portal.
Look into your cities in Age of Empires III. Duck the flames and run
through the trenches in Call of Duty: World At War. How trippy would it
be to play Guitar Hero 3 with a pair of these?
Immersion is the future of gaming. Nvidia’s wireless black GeForce 3D Vision
glasses are a completely new step into your gaming world. Uncloak a magical
dimension in your games with these Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision glasses.
NVIDIA's 3D Vision is pretty impressive and you'll absolutely want to replay
several old games just to experience them in 3D. Combine with this top of
the line Samsung monitor, your PC gaming experience will be more realistic than
ever!
All you'll need is a high-end GPU like the GeForce 8800 GT or better, GeForce
9600 GT or higher or GeForce GTX 200 series, and you're good to go. The
NVIDIA part of this kit features two major parts: wireless 3D glasses (using similar
technology to what you find in 3D IMAX theaters) and an IR (infrared)
transmitter. The IR box can connect to LCD TV, LCD display, and projector
or just about anything able to pull out a refresh rate of 120 Hz, though since
it comes with the 120Hz Samsung monitor you're all set.
The way this technology works is that each eye (assuming you have just two)
gets a 60 Hz refresh (way faster than your eye can see) meaning the glasses
blank the lens 60 times in a second, so that 120 Hz display yields smooth 3D
gameplay equivalent to 60 fps. I have tried the technology several
times, and I have to say, it is really a thrill ride. During the past
couple of events, NVIDIA has demonstrated the technology using Call of Duty 5,
Far Cry 2, Crysis Warhead, and Race Driver GRID and others. The
amazing part is that this 3D Vision tech works on almost every game, and
immediately boosts the replay value of games that you already have, making them
a whole new experience!

I bought these 3D glasses and used them with a Mitsubishi 42 inch screen and XP operating system. This combination provides a great 3D view with an amazing virtual depth and vivid colors. We use them for scientific visualization and they are definitely the best option for stereo vision I have tried so far.
WOW!

I tested the nvidia 3d vision in a electronic store last year and I've been dying for these. Now I can tell you that it was definitely worth it. I bought the package that TD offers with the Samsung monitor, nvidia 3d vison and a EVGA GTX 275 for $640. So I got the glasses for practically free, I gotta say I don't think I would have spent 600$ on just a monitor and glasses, but the GPU made it worth it. The 3d looks great! They're not kidding when they say that you get into the game a lot faster and add 5.1 surround sound with it and your IN the game!
Works well for some

I bought this because I wanted to see the technology in action. It works fairly well with many games and for most people is quite immersive. Unfortuneatly I have 'high-res' vision and I can sometimes see the flickering of a florescent light even when it is working normally. This means I can see a ghost image of each perspective in the wrong eye which leads it to look like three total images. My friends who have tried it say they don't see it which is why I think it is because of differences in the way that I see. So, be wary of that and check to see what games work the best before deciding to buy this. If you have a chance to try it out before buying that would be the best.
A second life to your existing game set.

This kit does exactly what I expected it to, puts a new twists on existing games for a more immersive experience. I use this with a 60" mitsubishi DLP and its quite something.
Things don't come out of the screen, however its like looking out of a window in a 3d world.
A few experiences I've encountered however:
I initially had a 9800 GTX video card, my first tests were fallout 3 and dark messiah of might and magic (both rated as excellent by nvidia for 3d vision purposes). I simply could not have playability at 1920 by 1080 resolution (the game would work ok for several minutes, then go into constant stutter mode, even with minimal eye candy). Upgrading to a GTX 275 fixed that problem.
Also, avoid (bright) lighting in the path between receiver and glasses as it seems to throw off the connectivity.
