3dfx and 3d glasses
23.09.15 at 07:41:07
 
I never knew that Metabyte had some of it's roots in 3D Glasses stuff; including a driver that allowed the use of different glasses and they even sold prepacked stuff as well.

Finding the full eyescream package seems to be nil, but is there any somewhat modern stuff I could find on ebay and use the eyescream drivers with on my Voodoo 5?

Now, keep in mind I'm not trying to break the bank here.  Something under $100 would be ideal.

Eyescreen glassess must be connected to a special port in the videocard, they don't work with Voodoo5.

I thought the 3d glasses used some sort of VGA breakout box that helped generate the signal... or am I wrong here?

I never used this stuff, but I'm interested in it.  So what would I need specifically?

Indeed, they work through a dongle between the card VGA output and the monitor (CRT), although I don't remember if they can work paired with Voodoo5, surely they can with Voodoo2. It's driver (glasses driver) dependant and game dependant as well.

Metabyte marketed their Wicked3D Voodoo2 board with their eyeSCREAM 3D Glasses based on H3D's glasses and their own in house wrapper. Since that time they have stopped making 3D Cards and glasses altogether, however they continued to develop and sell their eyeSCREAM 2000 drivers to hardware vendors making 3D glasses. The eyeSCREAM 2000 wrapper supports lots of video chipsets and provides sync doubling support to most games running Direct 3D and glide. If you own a 3dfx based card, the eyeSCREAM drivers will also support 3D in OpenGL titles that support the WickedGL wrapper as well.

Supoorted Chipsets:
NVIDIA - TNT, TNT Vanta, TNT2 M64, TNT2, TNT2 Ultra, Geforce 256 SDR/DDR, Geforce2 GTS, Gforce2 MX
3dfx - Voodoo2, Voodoo3 (2000, 3000, 35000), Voodoo4 (use the Voodoo5 drivers to support the Voodoo4), Voodoo5
ATI - RADEON, Rage 128, Rage 128GL, Rage 128 Pro, Rage Fury MAXX
Intel - i740, i752, i810
Matrox - Millennium G200, G400 (or MAX)
S3 - Savage3D, Savage4, Savage 2000
