Nvidia 3d Vision support

[ad5os]

Hello,

I really enjoy and love this game.  After watching the demo I thought that this game would look AMAZING in 3d vision glasses that I own.  I was very disappointed when the drivers wouldn't allow the game to switch into 3d vision mode. 

So I am wondering if anyone here has gotten it to work in 3d mode.  Or if the developer could figure out what it would take to make it work.  Most of my 3d indie games work... I especially love audiosurf and defense grid in 3d. 

Here is a link to see more about  http://www.nvidia.com/object/3D_Vision_3D_Games.html

I imagine it wouldn't take much more than a simple patch to fix whatever it is that doesn't let the 3d vision work.  I hope its possible because playing in actual 3d ads such an amazing element to game play... especially when it really looks like a 3d object you are manipulating in real time through the computer screen.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi, Brian -

The idea of running Cogs in 3D had never even occurred to me (which is surprising because I worked on a flight simulator that had a 3D mode with red/cyan glasses).  Unfortunately, there are some technical hurdles that might cause problems -- The background, UI and puzzle are rendered with 3 different camera.  So even if the drivers for the glasses managed the depth buffer and cameras properly, there would likely be some depth mismatches that could be tough on the eyes.

But it's definitely a good point for me to keep in mind for future game development, especially if that kind of hardware tech becomes more commonplace.
