I just got my VR920. I had already installed the downloaded drivers and apps from the vuzix website. I hooked it up and after configuring the video it worked. All except one small issue; The VR920 monitor app says the VR920 video port cannot be found. The vr920 apps, Visualizer, AxySnake, and AirXonix work in 3d video and have head tracking. I have not tried any other installed apps; Halo, Crysis warhead, and Flightsimulator X, but they are recognized by the monitor as being installed. Orangebox is not recognized as being installed.

I have a Macbook Pro dual booting into Vista for the headset and games. Would anyone have any idea why I get the error in the Monitor App?

Thanks

I suggest you to try games first, and if them working - never mind on this message.

I have tried Halo and it does not work in 3d but it does head track. I suspect the Vuzix driver is not loading properly or does not recognize the Macbook Pro DVI port correctly. I just don't know where to look.

I wrote to vuzix support and they said the VR920 needs to be the primary monitor. The radeon x1600 driver does not allow the external monitor to be the primary monitor. I then tried to make the VR920 the only monitor. Still no luck.

I tried crysis but the video is terrible. All I can see is like some kind of negative video. no 3d in it either.

I cannot get any stereposcopic 3d video except the Vuzix apps.

This is very disappointing because the Vuzix site says it is supposed to be:

"plug and play video with virtually all pc applications"
"thousands of pre existing applications in full 3d"

I have yet to see either statement as the truth.

Can someone tell me what the recomended system specs are to use this device?
