Meant to be Seen

I recently downloaded the iz3d driver and decided to give it a whirl in anaglyph to determine how well it performed with my favorite game, Lord of the Rings Online. I have a couple of 3d anaglyph movies at home, so I just grabbed the glasses that came with the DVD. They are red/green.

I figured this would work fine, but I am unable to get 3d to reliably work for me on games. I think this may have to do with the color coding of the glasses I have. My left eye, (green) gets a single image (and faint ghost) but the right eye gets two distinct images. One is fairly detailed, and the other is a bright ghost. Try as I might, I cannot seem to get my brain to ignore the bright ghost in my left eye and form the pictures into a single coherent stereoscopic image.

I tried some red/green anaglyph movies on youtube and had better results. How much will buying a pair of cyan/magenta (or yellow/whatever) glasses help my anaglyph experience?

You want to be using red/cyan glasses with the iz3d driver. Other colors may give unpredictable results, you may see something, but its not the way it was meant to be seen. Anaglyph glasses are cheap: about $1 for the cheap paper ones and maybe $10 for a good plastic pair. You can get some here:

The old nVidia driver allows you to change the colors to match the glasses you have.
