Nvidia 3D Vision – Missing Application Support

Nvidia’s 3D Vision shutter glasses are awesome, no doubt about it, BUT…

I’ve managed to control my negative emotions regarding the lack of driver support for my old Elsa 3D Revelator glasses. It’s also OK that the prize for the new 3D Vision glasses is pretty high.
