| It can be interesting to imagine this device with XBox 360 because this system is very similar to a PC, and I'm sure that the driver can be adapted to this media. We can imagine little 3D game on the market place, or to get some 3D video from the video download center of the Xbox. It just an idea but I don't know why I couldn't work (USB port and VGA capabilities).

Actually, it is possible to connect the VR920 to an XBox 360, using Microsoft's VGA cable, and a female/female VGA adapter. The audio doesn't work, because the XBox 360 doesn't recognize our drivers, which is something that could, in time, be fixed. However, 3D and headtracking do not work either, and there's nothing that we, as developers, can do about that, since we can't access the game files on a console like we can on a PC. However, if a game studio were to release a game with native VR920 support, 3D and headtracking would become a possibility. Perhaps, you will start to see those sorts of games in the future, but right now there are no compatible titles.

| In fact, i was thinking about a new abstract layer between console graphic card driver and VR920 which can permit this...but I understand the fact that is not possible for now.
Thanks for your reply.  |

I registered just to post on this thread. Hopefuly i'll get what I need.
Can we get a female-to-female VGA connector anywhere...like at radioshak ?
I dont really care about the audio since I already have a digital surround sound setup. (bose)
So is the video really good with the 360 using the VR920. ? The AV920 seems crappy and only accepts Composite signal. which is why im more interested in the VR.

| I've got a VR920, an Xbox 360 and the Xbox 360 VGA cable. I wanted to give it a try for you but I don't have a female-female VGA adapter.
I don't know if the source by circuit city has the part. I did a quick search on digikey and found three parts in stock that would work (GCHDLPF15F15F-ND, 626-1296-ND, AE10302-ND) but I'm not going to place an order just for that. The Xbox 360 is best played at a big resolution. I use a 720p projector with the HDMI cable and I'm not going back to a lower resolution. |

| It doesn't have to be a special female/female VGA adapter; one from RadioShack or a similar place should do just fine.

Is there anyway to use the PS3 with this ? Im not sure if i've seen a PS3 - VGA connector yet.
And any word if a high def version (component or better) is being worked on solely for gaming consoles ?
i appreciate it much

| @Mike: in theory, and in theory ONLY, the PS3 would work with the VR920; the USB ports in that system do the neat little trick we need them to do to power on the VR920, but Sony has not yet released a VGA cable, so you can't actually connect the two devices together.
As to future projects, well, I'm afraid that I can't really talk about that, but I feel it's pretty safe to say that the VR920 will not be the last product we release, so I'm sure that something with higher def will come along at some point. What and when, well . . . I guess that's going to have to remain a mystery for now.

| for ps3 there are vga to composit cables , but u would need to do alittle work with them to change the composit from male to female. or search for more converters . but all the money spent on converters u could spend on beer and use the console on the big tv with friends  |

| Component/svideo/composite-to-VGA converters are $40-$80
For stereoscopy,
USB signal may be necessary, or strict vsync. I don't know if XNA can allow that, but PS3 via linux/OtherOS allows USB access. The PS3 though doesn't give access to 3D drawing via GPU, ever since FW2.10.
Really, x360 or PS3 stereoscopy doesn't look worth developing - it's much easier to code the stuff for PC, and it's guaranteed stereoscopy users have nice PCs |
