| Hi,
I have had a VR920 about 1 week now and am testing it with everything I have and it is better than I thought but I still have some bugs to sort out.
The resolution is great and the 3d amazing when working properly. I had to keep adjusting the nose pads every day until I got them perfect for my face and as I wear glasses It was a bit tricky at first but now I hardly notice the head set on.
The head tracking works great and is the reason why I didn,t just go for a 3d monitor.
The earphones now are on flexible cable instead of the previous semi rigid design and work great except for some interference from my mouse.
The problem I have left is in FSX and Lock on and its with the random flickering of the 3d on and off which I see some other members have experienced. I think it might be a cable problem as I tightened everything up this morning and it fixed it on lock on. I still have to try FSX.
Also the 3d effect in these games only seems to effect the aircraft objects and all the scenery stays 2d. I have used the iz3d drivers in lock on with vusix head tracking and the 3d is much better. iz3d doesnt seem to work with FSX.
Roller coaster tycoon 3d is very good too but the head tracking in it sucks so hopefully I can tweak that. Crysis works great as well
I thought 640 x 480 would show up all jaggy but it doesn't it actually looks higher res. the screen size looks about the same as my 22" monitor from abot 2.5 ft so its definitly big enough.
I also watched some 3d movies which looked great aswell using the trial stereoscopic player. It would have been good to have this type of player with the glasses and maybe an editor for the visualiser program.
It would be great if it could have been used for watching a standard video source as well but I suppose we can't have everything yet.
Over all its an amazing bit if kit for the money.
Cheers

| Gssev,
I am glad to hear your overall experience with our iWear has been a positive one. Some of the issues you bring up could be the result of out of date firmware, I would recommend checking to see if you have the latest version and updating it if necessary.
If you open up your "iWear VR920 Calibrator" and right click on the menu bar, you will have an option for "About iWear Calibrator...". Select this option and a menu will pop up displaying all of your driver and firmware information. The latest firmware version is 1.110.104.13. If that is not what you have then the latest version can be downloaded from our website. I would recommend having a look at the "Firmware Update Instructions" which you can find above the firmware updater.
Please feel free to post here again or contact technical support directly if this does not resolve your problems or if you have any other issues.

| Hi,
Thanks for the info. I checked the firmwear and it is up to date. I think FSX is ok now as I changed the cfg file QueryGPU setting to 1 as suggested in the iweargeneral txt file for the 3d switching effect. I also had to put the locking setting to 0. It still flips for a moment when you change view but most of the time the 3d is good.
Also I have noticed that after the glasses heat up I sometimes get a slight banding effect on the screens and adjusting the contrast usualy fixs it to unoticable levels.Does any body else have this?
In FSX I really like it when you set the view to the Aircrafts tail and the head tracking allows you to look in all directions and zoom in on the landscape etc.
Cheers

| My Vr920 was not working today as it kept going to a blue screen after I connected it up. I tried closing down a lot of other backround programs but it was still the same until I system restored my Vista pc back to the day I first installed the vr920 and it now works great again  with hardly any noticable lines. So it must have been a driver problem as I had installed some other stuff like the iz3d drivers and the stereoscopic player and a new direct x after. Maybe a program started the interference?. I'll check the 920 screens after any installation in case it starts causing problems.
Cheers

| My VR920 is still going to a blue screen at random and when I sometimes touch the thumb wheel.
Contacted tech support and they were great but it now needs replacing as it has a fault. Sending it back soon.
Hope the next one is good. |

| Hi,
I got my replacement set no problem and they are working great. The last set must have had a fault in them.
The Vuzix support were great and returning them was no hassle.
