stereoscopiv view for games

[Michel]

This is a binary only library (hopefully iy isn't infected with some virus!! :)).

 

Really cool... stereascopiv view for any game that uses opengl....

The explnation:

 

VRizers aim is to utilize conventional OpenGL games or OpenGL software for virtual reality or virtual environment setups. This is done in Linux, by creating a library that, when preloaded, intercepts the proper OpenGL/SDL calls to create 2 stereoscopic views out of 1 single frame stream. So the original software (the game) is not altered in any way.

 

VRizer now works best for UT2003, but a few other games were tested succesfully (with some features/options missing): FooBillard, TuxRacer, Scorched3D, Neverball, Armagetron, Trackballs. However, you need different scaling settings in the configuration file for each of these games. e.g.:

 

* foobillard: scale = 1.0

* neverball: scale = about 10

* scorched3d: scale = 1.0

* TuxRacer: scale = about 10 (background pixmap not correctly displayed)

 

 

...test it out for yourself.

 

Although VRizer is developed with active stereo Virtual Reality setups in mind (like the CAVE), it can be used without the need of any special hardware. There is the possibility to use red-green glasses on one screen, so you can enjoy the benefits of Stereoscopic 3D graphics on your home-PC.
