These glasses filter out certain pixels of the screen to create depth. In this method, the game is rendered twice from slightly different angles and outputted to the screen at the same time, much like anaglyph. The glasses are fairly inexpensive compared to shutter glasses, and do not need to be synchronized with a monitor. They also do not require to be powered.

Dolphin in particular supports Shutter and Anaglyph glasses through nVidia 3D Vision and 3D Vision discover. Tri-def's 64bit Beta also works if you rename the Dolphin's EXE into a supported program, but may need further configuration.

nVidia 3D Vision is one of the earlier shutter stereoscopic solutions for PC. By hooking into games through the nVidia drivers, 3D Vision produces good results for compatible setups. For the best 3D experience, you can adjust depth, convergence, and even add a 3D Targeting reticule that works well with third person and first person shooters!

|It's Wind Waker in 3D.  May need a texture hack to remove the red dot during hookshoting.  Using the nVidia Reticle works great for it.
