NVIDIA 3D Vision has just gone on sale in the UK – rejoice!!!
NVIDIA 3D Vision is a clever way to bring some fabby 3D tech to your PC gaming without having to buy a dedicated screen.
It’s all achieved by hooking up a pair of wireless 3D specs to an infrared transmitter, sprinkle in some software smarts that gets your monitor slinging two different pictures at the same time to your peepers so that you don’t get any flicker.
With the NVIDIA 3D Vision googles strapped on you’ll get depth perception in PC games, particularly useful for first-person shooters.
Just makes sure your puter is rocking Vista and a compatible graphics card.
Oh, you’ll also need a PC monitor that’s 120Hz – you can always buy the bundled pack that comes with a Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ for £399.

This patch is no ordinary patch.
It is a patch for the more, can I say, Geeky of us
The makers bill it as something akin to ‘a TinyURL you can wear’, allowing people to scan the QRCode using a phone and be pointed to any web page you define – I think that is truly fab!
I am considering some for this site as well as possibly putting one in the release pack of one of my bands new album………..
This is the tech bit:
The QRCode is permanently set to a Swiss URL – p8t.ch/somekindofuniqueidentifier.
You have control over this URL, and can change it to redirect to a site of your choice as often as you like.
So, people can use a QRcode reader (available for the iPhone, Nokia N series phones and the like), scan it and be sent to anything you choose – your blog, your YouTube channel, you get the idea.
$20 From P8TCH
