Ok so today I was going through some stuff in my room and found some old red and blue 3D glasses. So I though "Hey, I wonder if I can use them for 3D gaming?".

So I Googled about and found this:

Its only for Nvidia users and you need a spare pare of 3D glasses laying aroud.

So yeah. Check it out.

 Great find!  I'll be moving this to the Player guides forum.  Thanks a bunch for posting!  Any idea on where we could find the old school 3d glasses for cheap?  (Besides EBay :-P)

Movies released in 3d contain a pair or two.  You can also get them through the Nvidia site.  Also you can check garage sales for 3d puzzles, comics etc that may have a pair with them, or a local hobby shop.  Some even come in cereal boxes once in a while!

You can also make your own pretty cheap, all you need is  some stiff paper or cardboard (cereal boxes work pretty good) to make a frame, and the proper colored celophane which can be purchased for pretty low prices in arts and crafts stores and hobby shops.

As grate as that is you shouldnt use it for long playing sessions because you could get bad headaches

still i would love to get some of the glasses

That is true.  Prolonged sessions with this form of 3d and other 3d methods have been known to cause headaches, nausea, dizzieness, and blurred vision. Some have even experienced double vision when removing their glasses.  Some forms of video games have also been noted to cause similar side effects, as well as sezieurs in some subjects. Alcohol is also known to have the previously mentioned effects on subjects, although not nessecarily in that order.  Caution should be used when using any of the above mentioned items or any of the above mentioned items in any combination or all at once.

Someone is bound to have a camera, and you are going to look stupid.
