20nV IDI a 3D V I sIon U seR GUID e 03 Congratulations! setup and configuration are complete and 3D Vision is enabled and ready for you to begin the most immersive gaming experience for the PC. Note: 3D Vision has been enabled with the default depth amount of 15%. n VIDIa recommends all new users begin with the default depth amount until you are comfor table. You can increase the depth over time as your eyes grow accustomed to stereoscopic 3D viewing. The depth amount can be changed from the n VIDIa Control Panel or by adjusting the wheel on the back of the IR emitter. To view a full list of compatible games, please visit www.nvidia.com/3dvision. The n VIDIa Control Panel contains additional settings for 3D Vision. f or information on the how to use the control panel, see NVIDIA 3D Vision Control Panel on page 25 of this manual.

When this box is checked, it enables you to turn stereoscopic 3D effects on and off using the U sb IR emitter on button, pressing the notebook's 3D on/off button, or by using the keyboard shor tcut Ctrl-T. l eaving this enabled does not affect any other applications. However, leaving it enabled may reduce game per formance when you are not using 3D Vision. 04
23 Adjusting the Depth The depth amount in a game is the depth that the far thest object is placed in a scene. When 3D Vision is first installed on your system, the Depth is set at the default of 15%. If you are new to 3D gaming, 15% is a good point to star t with. Viewing depth at a higher setting can be uncomfor table to some users. as you use 3D Vision, your eyes will become more accustomed to viewing stereoscopic 3D and you can incrementally increase the depth amount without eye strain. on the Set Up Stereoscopic 3D screen, you adjust the depth amount by adjusting the slider to the desired amount. The depth setting on this slider indicates the depth amount for all games when they are launched. You can also change the depth amount by adjusting the thumbwheel on the back of the IR emitter. a ny adjustments you make on the thumbwheel is reflected on the Depth slider in the nVIDIa Control Panel. a nother way to change depth while in a game is to use the keyboard shor tcut keys: Note: These are the default hotkeys used for 3D Vision glasses kits. If you have a 3D Vision notebook, there should be buttons on your keyboard for decreasing and increasing 3D depth. >To decrease depth, use Ctrl+F3 (default shor tcut keys) >To increase depth, use Ctrl+F4 (default shor tcut keys) any adjustments you make using keyboard shor tcuts is Thumbwheel to adjust depth while in a game

If you had more than one 3D Vision-Ready display attached during setup, they will be reflected in the list. Change 3D Laser Sight The cross-hair sight in a first-person shooter ( fP s) game is usually positioned at screen depth when viewed in stereoscopic 3D, making it difficult to aim. In some games, n VIDIa has created a configuration that puts the in-game laser sight at the correct depth. f or those games, no user configuration is required. for all other fPs games, n VIDI a provides a selection of 3D laser sights that appear on the targeted object. The laser sights work in properly configured first-person shooter games with screen-centered sights. To change the laser sight from the Set Up Stereoscopic 3D screen, click on the Change 3D Laser Sight button to display a list of possible laser sights. 04
25 Different laser sights are displayed as you scroll down. To use your selected laser sight, check the Enable laser sight for configured game check box. If you would rather use the game’s laser sight, uncheck the box. You can define the amount of transparency for the selected laser sight by using the Transparency slider. a setting of 0% is a solid laser sight and a setting of 100% is see-through. a recommended laser sight transparency is 25%. You can also use the keyboard shor tcut keys, C tr l+F12 (default setting) to toggle the laser sight on and off while in a game. The laser sight displays when stereoscopic 3D is turned on during a game. To avoid confusion, disable the aiming crosshair provided by the game whenever possible.
