Eqzitara, and the community.
Just letting you know that Neil very kindly got back to me. It was nice to hear from him again as it's been a lot of years since he and I were both on here. As further confirmation, he did indeed speak to an nVidia representative over the weekend and said that he'll make that upload available on his own site, as and when he's able to. Then you, I, or someone else can link to that interview on here perhaps. So rather than just second guessing and making incorrect assumptions about things, at least we as a community can have the chance to hear directly from the movers and shakers at nVidia, amongst others in the industry too, and be better informed as a result.
In my personal pursuit of shallow materialism, of which by the way I have no intention of apologising for, I'd still like to think that I recognise the things that actually matter. Namely, the volunteering of people's time, effort and their sharing of knowledge and expertise with others, exemplified all too well by Helix initially, yourself, bo3b with his excellent tutorial concept, and now numerous others to whom I apologise for not mentioning. Rather than give a private message to you, I felt it entirely appropriate that everyone should feel included, be they a specialist like yourself, or simply stereoscopic 3D enthusiasts no matter what their level of expertise, or lack thereof, in my case.
Stereoscopic 3D and Virtual Reality are not going away. It is said that what is seen, cannot be unseen, and that is certainly no more appropriate than with this particular technology. From a bottom line perspective, there's money to be made. Anyone with half a brain cell can figure that out, but, there's also plenty of fun to be had, if people in this industry are smart enough to realise it. Let's make sure they do.
(Eqzitara, I'll send you a pm to enquire about a couple of things, and to make a small suggestion)

100 percent agree. Nvidia must be clearly informed that this 3d genie they created is alive, well-fed by the Guardians and is not going back in the bottle. Cant unring the bell, bottle has been broken.
While it appears that Nvidia for all purposes abandoned and left the 3d genie out to die, key people have nurtured and kept it alive (God bless them). My prayers and actions are for this tech to resurge and prosper. Just purchased new 27in 3d monitor, 3d vision kit and 780gtx for another pc in the home. That's 2 3d vision setups in this home.
If Nvidia would be patient a little longer with the game support and allow more gamers to SEE and experience the tech, this could be a big boon for them. The market cycle was too short (what 4 years) and initial entry too expensive for early adopters ($1,200+ for the setup) to take off in the short product time allotted. 3d Vision needs a longer tech cycle, say 5-7 years to fully integrate to the average gamer. Nvidia needs to understand somehow that the consensus of almost every gamer who has seen 3d vision loves it and embraces it. Full Support was pulled too early witnessed by the strong and loyal support by the 3d gamers worldwide. This tech for the pc world just needs longer full supported backing from Nvidia, realizing that the 3d vision can now be enjoyed for half the price of when it was introduced just a few years ago. Not sure it will happen, one can only pray. In the meantime, God bless and protect the Guardians of 3d in this community.
I truly hope that the death knell of no official 3d vision driver support will not happen anytime soon. If it does, I will be [b]PISSED[/b]. No Nvidia support ever again from me, I will probably quit gaming altogether and be forced to watch crappy CSI reruns with the wife.

Calistoga, thanks for the enthusiastic backing, and also for the fact that you finally decided to post here after all this time. Sheer enthusiasm, counts as much as expertise in my book, although it's of course always wise to be realistic about things generally. Most game forums have either moderators or on occasion one or two developers that at least provide some kind of communication for the benefit of their registered members. Here that's obviously not the case, so members can only speculate a lot of the time. If some use can be made of reportage, hopefully it provides some more up to date facts to base an opinion on, and get some idea of where things might be headed. People here have paid out many times more than what they've paid for to purchase your average PC game, only to get next to no feedback. Just trying something different.
