Simuleyes 3D stereo VR glasses
Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2009 11:24 am
I just won a pair of Simuleyes 3D stereo glasses on eBay for cheap ($5.25 including shipping and handling) These were originally supported for D2 on DOS and Windows 95, and possibly D1 on DOS. I don't know if VR was ever an option on D3.
For the price it was worth taking a chance. If nothing else I still have a 486 around here and can experiment with D1 & D2.
Does anyone have a pair of these or had any experience setting up and using them? Can they work with D3? Any tips?

They are supported by Descent 1 patched to v1.5 and Descent 2, but the DOS version only. I got them running on an old 233MHZ Win 98 machine and the effect is awesome. I also managed to get them running on an XP machine with the latest version of DOSBox 0.73. They do require a CRT that supports a high refresh, 80Hz and up. A 60Hz LCD display is too slow and has a noticeable flicker especially when running in DOSBox.
