We’ve seen plenty of visor devices before that claim to give you hours of visual enjoyment by making any input appear like a 100-inch cinema screen, but none really delivered hours of fun without becoming nauseating. And here we find another such device called the TDVision System that promises to not only deliver that big-screen experience, but all that in 3D and in HD. I had the opportunity to don the visor to discover what the rep says “can only be experienced.”

And yes, it’s not exactly a fashionable piece of equipment, but it sure delivers an immersive 3D experience perfect for gaming. However, I can’t vouch for that no-motion-sickness guarantee, because even in my short 10-second test drive, I was having my doubts. Perhaps more notable is their TDVirtualCam (picture after the break) that can record video into the HD-3D format. What’s better than watching yourself in 3D?

I would be skeptical, they only showed a 10 second clip, and the technology is based on 2-D to 3-D conversions. HMD visors exist and stereoscopic video is not a new technology. We have digital HDTV 3-D video ready for mass-market, not conversions, by the end of this month we hope to have venture capital.

Any 3-D system marketing 2-D conversions is not as powerful as true 3-D stereoscopic video. We have the technology, we just need some help to get it to the mass market.

I forgot to mention our website, Florida3d.com, free stereoscopic 3-D of our work online.

Hello all,

I’m Ethan Schur the Director of Product Marketing for TDVision systems. To clarify our technology is _not_ based on 2D to 3D conversions as Dave has asserted. In fact TDVision is a revolutionary solution that actually emulates the way the human brain and eyes perceives 3D visual information. TDVision is focused on and only supports true stereoscopic 3D. We are ready to deploy along current cable infrastructures high-definition 3D by use of our mpeg compatible 3D codec.

Please email me for any questions or further clarifications on TDVision technology.
Thank you
Ethan Schur
Director, Product Marketing
TDVision Systems Inc.
