Elite 3D on TV, monitor or projector?

hi group.

I've heard that Elite can be played 3D on a device like an appropriately-equipped TV, monitor or projector.

I have a projector that's 3D ready (HDMI), but never used it for 3D to date.

I've checked the available 3D options, but am somewhat confused as to which is intended for this purpose.

also, does it require something else like the 3D work Invidia is doing??

if anyone has experience along these lines, (especially success) I would definitely appreciate your findings.

Oculus... Definitely :p

I actually own an Oculus, and it just doesn't work for me. you're talking to a person who really, really wanted it to work - especially given some of the reactions here. it's going onto Ebay very soon.

I have a 'cockpit simulator' in the basement, and it's time for a serious upgrade, hence the queries about large (hopefully 3D) imaging devices - along the size of this..

Dude, what simulator software are you running? I want to give it a try.

Orbiter. An actual physics-based simulator. It has an API, so you can write just about anything (including custom displays) to run in it. It also has a steep learning curve, since you form real (not gamey) orbits.

I've written a driver for the Go-Flight GF-45 boxes you see sprinkled around the cockpit. it's running a 2001 add-on.

I really enjoy flying winged, hypersonic craft through re-entry. Energy management all the way down :D

the program is a bit old, but physics hasn't changed since then ;)

I wasn't sure if that was Orbiter. I didn't recognize the station. I played it a few times to get that "hard-core" experience.

Maybe I fire it up while we wait for the big FD announcement... ;)
