Again, i feel for those who has medical problems watching 3D.
I read the whole topic. Interesting.

1. It should not be possible to get depth perception through these methods when viewing objects 10+ meters away in the game world. In reality there is no such sensation. Could work only if exaggerated (making the world look smaller than it really is). Anything inside an aircraft cockpit should stand out nicely however.

2. With all the hassle of these displays taking up huge space, it makes me think about using pricy bulky inconvenient speakers instead of head mounted (headphones) for sound. Surely some kind of high resolution, large head mounted displays must become available at some point soon. Been waiting forever. They would be very easy to work with and would work PERFECTLY with our typical TrackIR.

3. I have never - ever - been able to see anything except 'double image' when using any kind of 3D illusion. Both images and movies. I have crappier vision on one of my eyes which is probably the reason. The depth perception is still good but not as good as some of you people. Since I can't see this effect in reality much I don't regret it in gaming either. I simply have no idea what I am missing and don't have to try to get such a system. I feel lucky in that respect. I have a TrackIR 5 and I just could never go back to not using headtracking. Before I tried, I had no idea how awesome it was. If someone can't use it, I would pity them and think "They don't know what they are missing".
