I stumbled upon this on ebay recently, I can remember using oversized 90s headsets in the arcades allways wanted to try out one of these, unfortunatly a bit steep for me.

I vaguely recall seeing it featured alongside MechWarrior 2 and the S3 ViRGE in old advertisements,

Has anyone had the chance to use one of these headsets?

Any Youtube video etc showing its functionality?

Thanks

S3 Virge + shutter glasses aka fraud. Promises 3d, delivers stuttering nausea inducing mess.

The shutter glasses approach wasn't that bad imho... but it's a far cry from what one would call "VR". Basically, gives a bit of depth to the image on your monitor, but no more than that. Like all those 3D TVs from the fad ~10(?) years ago did.

The serial number on the sticker on the graphics cards seem to be not identical.

Descent 2 with a Virge, 3D parallax correction, and 1990's VR must be a trip

edit: Can't forget the Aura InterActor on the back. I hear this one's recently been making a comeback too, in the form of underseat bass thumpers?

I have miroMEDIA Voodo2 that supports these 3D shutter-glasses. For obvious financial reasons I hardly ever find out if it really works with them.
