NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 Stereoscopic Gaming Glasses Kit Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2011-11-18
today's unboxing is extremely exciting yes more exciting than the holiday USB more exciting than the gift card this is the Nvidia 3d vision 2 wireless glasses or the Nvidia 3d vision 2 wireless glasses kit so I'm going to unbox both of them and explain the subtle difference between the two kits but not without wearing my Nvidia 3d vision one glasses so you can see the boxes oh that just came apart but boxes look quite similar and the products are quite similar in terms of their functionality but we see a couple of huge upgrades that have to do with a few specific things so one specific thing is the comfort level Nvidia claims and I have not yet witness to these glasses in person yet at this time up till now Nvidia is claim is that they are significantly more comfortable especially for those who already wear glasses so we will put that to the test and videos claim also is that light boost technology for which you need a supported monitor see light boost monitored hmm light blue stereo gives you up to two times the 3d brightness with supported monitor so here we have a VG two seven eight which I will be unboxing later but not at this time and actually those are those are the biggest oh the last thing yes what you may have noticed about about the VG 278 is the fact that it is a large monitor it is a 27-inch monitor and in videos claim once again it's a claim because I've not yet verified it about the 3d vision two glasses is that they will be far more suitable for large format panels due to the much larger actual lenses so you'll be able to take in more and deliver a more immersive gaming experience by having those larger frames and to have less sort of thick frame action going on with the your field of view so I'm just taking this out just like that okay don't worry I'll get the glasses okay so this is the kits Q so the kits Q has the glasses which you can plainly see I am holding it also has AA extra nose pieces if you have sorry about that guys battery you know how it is so extra nose pieces for those who have different shaped noses me I have a fairly large nose this one tends to work from you just find the default one we also have a three pin cable as well as a USB charging cable so the three pin cable is for Quadro users whose cards support that particular output if you have a 3d vision ready monitor which I definitely suggest you use if you're a consumer then you do not need that cable we have another charging cable oh it looks like this is using that I forget what this one's called but it's a different USB cable it's okay Slick's trying to tell me what it is but it doesn't really matter basically it's this one rather than a mini B and that is for charging the glasses and then this other one is probably actually a USB power cable for the emitter okay we've got a little baggie to keep your 3d vision glasses in keep them nice and safe keep them from getting scratched all that good stuff and go ahead and take that out look at that it's a nice little mesh bag there put that in there no you put that in there and then you put like something else in here like a cable for example okay cool we've also got a little user guide for the USB IR emitter Quick Start Guide and finally the IR emitter itself which has Berg on the back of it some IR emission details and settings so that's to change the depth that's your 3d sync in which the cable is included which wasn't included with 3d vision v1 and there's your power and data connection so let's test and videos claim about larger lenses first so I am wearing a 3d vision v1 glasses set and I'm just going to take off this plastic so you guys can see what these look like and all of their their 3d glory and I really wish it was easier to remove this plastic got ya okay so a couple things oh look at that my uh okay so they've got little rubber things here so that's presumably to keep them from slipping and then they've also got a rubberized finish here on the here on the nose piece itself don't worry I won't catch units okay I can control the angle of this one fairly easily so there's our rubberized nose piece there in terms of the overall shape of the glasses here I'm just going to hold them side by side you can see that they are significantly wider and they're also wider sort of how do I explain this yeah they're wider this way see how these squeeze in at the end these want the new ones the 3d vision two glasses don't really do that so they do have the little rubber pad here and then that is what keeps it from slipping rather than relying on pressure which could make the three Division one glasses fairly uncomfortable after a while another thing about the 3d vision one glasses is they have this bump here and then this other bump here so this bump was for the battery as well as the wear the charging cable went and finally for the receiver the IR receiver on the 3d vision two glasses the IR receiver is dead smack in the middle and then these bumps are significantly smaller even where the charging cable is concerned so what that means is that you're going to be able to wear them in theory with a headset more comfortably so you know what I'm going to come back with a headset I'm also going to come back with some glasses and we're going to see how this goes from here so here I am with some sunglasses that I scrounged up and I'm going to try and put my 3d vision v1 glasses over top of them so you can see that sits pretty far away from my face and the frames sit like within very much within my field of vision I mean I can see about this much above about this much below I can see all around it very well so hopefully the larger lenses will have some kind of an impact ah interesting okay you know what it does make a difference because from the side I don't know if you guys can tell but for me it feels like it's closer to the glasses that I'm already wearing the sunglasses is it closer or is it not okay so looks telling me is closer but it could also be to do with the fact that the frames are more in alignment with the frames on these glasses because they're they're kind of enlarged so I don't see as much of the frames especially at the top at the bottom I still definitely catch the frames I can see quite a bit below them but that shouldn't be as big of a deal because the bottom is more like where your keyboard and mouse is as long as the monitor is going to be fully and captured which is not a word by the 3d vision glasses and the other thing that I wanted to check really quickly without glasses was whether they are more comfortable they're definitely lighter they're much much lighter these are very front heavy so as soon as you put them down they look a little fall I don't want to drop it but they're very very front heavy these are not quite as as as hefty right in the front on the lenses they've used a lighter plastic on that and then yeah they don't have nearly as much weight to the model I gotta say wearing them I still do feel like I'm wearing swim swim goggles a little bit here finally the last test that I wanted to perform was whether I can actually wear a headset over top of them and the answers that I can it's not perfect there's a bit of a gap here but that sort of seems like the price to pay for stereoscopic 3d where it's going to show you guys with the 3d vision one glasses what I had to do in order to wear a headset on them oh you know what this headset actually works really well with the 3d glasses in general so maybe it's a bad example but you guys can kind of see how it works you can see the new glasses I think I've modelled them enough for you at this point and thank you for checking out my unboxing of the 3d vision 2 glasses don't forget you can either buy them as part of a kit if you have an emitter or you can buy supplementary glasses so it's 149 for the kit 99 for the supplementary glasses and if you already have an emitter from 3d vision 1 you only have to buy the new glasses you do not have to buy a whole new kit and then I think that pretty much covers and thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look online is tech tips don't forget to subscribe for more
