Active Stereoscopic 3D for Unity

Bring true active stereoscopic 3D to your games!

By using two Unity Camera objects, this pluging communicates directly with the NVidia NVision 3D driver providing a true active stereoscopic 3D signal to the 3D hardware.

Windows only. Requires Unity Pro and the NVidia NVision 3D driver. Supported hardware includes IR emitters, DLP TVs (DVI/HDMI cable), LCD displays (dual-link DVI cable), anaglyph glasses and any HDMI 1.4-compliant stereoscopic 3D device (TV, bluray, etc).

Available now at the Unity Asset Store!

Prerequisites:

  • NVIDIA 3D Vision driver for Windows is required (download).
  • Test your stereoscopic hardware using the 3D Vision Test tool.
    NVidia Control Panel > 3D Vision > Set up stereoscopic 3D > Test Stereoscopic 3D > Run Setup Wizard
  • Configure the 3D Vision settings:
    - Enable stereoscopic 3D
    - Depth: Min (move the slider to the leftmost end).

Setup:

  1. Import the package (Asset Store > My Stuff > Active Stereoscopic 3D for Unity > Import)
  2. At the Project view, move the Plugins folder from the folder Active Stereoscopic 3D Plugin to the root of your Project.
  3. See below for detailed instructions on using the Plugin.

How to build the Demo project:

  1. Create a new Unity 3D project which includes the Character Controller package.
  2. Import the package Active Stereoscopic 3D for Unity into the project (Asset Store > My Stuff)
    IMPORTANT: Move the Plugins folder from Active Stereoscopic 3D Plugin to the root of your Project.
  3. Open the Demo Scene and click Play.
    You should see a side-by-side picture in the Game window. This is ok and means that the plugin is working properly. NVision 3D doesn't work inside the Unity Editor, but the plugin is combining the two cameras correctly in the Game view.
  4. Prepare to build the scene:
    - File > Build Settings: choose PC and Mac Standalone. Target platform: Windows.
    - Ensure the Demo Scene is the only one at Scenes in Build. Click Add Current if it's not there.
  5. Click Build and Run, then choose a folder for the built project.
    - Choose a resolution and disable Windowed (stereoscopic 3D works in full screen only).
    - You should see the scene in active stereoscopic 3D using your 3D hardware. If you still see the side-by-side picture, enable the NVision stereoscopic 3D mode using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-T by default).
