Moving around and or movement around me gets the pageflipping out of sync.

Linden Labs has decided to no longer restrict old viewers, the viewers just don't allow certain things going back (like back past windlight)<br><br>Been happily using the native viewer for months now, but I talked with a vuzix rep earlier who said the design team already had a new client and were waiting to release it. That was two months ago...<br><br>Anyway, you need 1.21.6 binaries already to run it, which can be found [url=http://download-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/Second_Life_1-21-6-99587_Setup.exe]here[/url].<br><br>Enjoy! I think LL does not block it because it's a nonstandard client once you mod it.Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:33:39 GMTFeilenhttp://forums.vr920.com/Topic4432-18-1.aspxOh yes sorry i knew you were talking about the native support here but until we know if there will be an updated support version I was looking for alternatives to get the full stereo from SL. Unfortunatly Im running a 8600GTTue, 29 Sep 2009 08:01:23 GMTLevlionhttp://forums.vr920.com/Topic4432-18-1.aspxSure you can use NVidia stereo in SL, if you have 6XXX or 7XXX GeForce. We are talking about iWear support here, a special SL viewer that allow to use stereo and head tracking on any video card.Tue, 29 Sep 2009 07:44:25 GMTMnemonichttp://forums.vr920.com/Topic4432-18-1.aspxSo there currently is no support for the vr920 and second life even using nvidia stereoscopic drivers?<br><br>Bit annoying I was waiting to get a pair of vr920 just for SL use and now I have the spare money its no longer supported >.<Tue, 29 Sep 2009 05:57:55 GMTLevlionhttp://forums.vr920.com/Topic4432-18-1.aspx@jasonh: you can use the head tracking in 2d when in mouse look, using an external program called glove pie. that's all for now, sadly...<br><br>@mnemonic: i've sent a mail to vuzix support some time ago, and got no response so far...<br><br>EDIT: releasing the source of the sl client modifications is the way to go, imho. The sdk from vuzix is already available, and i think many people will love and be able to keep supporting the vr920 once the code is public.Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:15:10 GMTDavidehttp://forums.vr920.com/Topic4432-18-1.aspxYes, we need support of new viewers, or some kind of universal patch for SL.<br>Any new from Vuzix?Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:33:12 GMTMnemonichttp://forums.vr920.com/Topic4432-18-1.aspxI'm also keen to get an answer to this. I'd like to buy a VR920, and use with Second Life would be a major reason. If there's no SL support then that would be a deal-breaker for me.<P>In the absence of native support in the viewer, is there any kind of support at all, e.g. in mouselook mode? or does it totally fail to work?</P><P>Given that the SL viewer is open source, perhaps Vuzix could release the source code for their modifications under GPL or something so that they can be integrated into the viewer codebase?Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:06:17 GMTjasonhhttp://forums.vr920.com/Topic4432-18-1.aspxthe iWareMonitor supports secondlife up to version 1.21.6 which has been discontinued and logins with it have been disabled as of 5th of august (as stated [url=https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/technology/release/blog/2009/07/19/support-for-the-1216-official-viewer-to-end-august-5th]here[/url]).<br>I'm really interested in getting support again and it has been an important point in deciding to buy the glasses<br>Is vuzix willing to add support for newer secondlife clients?<br>Sun, 09 Aug 2009 16:37:49 GMTDavide
