Strictly guessing, but I noticed this on their page:
"Supports the most popular display adapter chipsets with our patented
new drivers:
-nVidia (all cards including GeForce 2, 3, 4, and FX)
-ATI Radeon (all cards including 7000, 8000 and 9000 series)
-ATI Rage (all cards)
-Kyro, Matrox, Intel and more"
This suggests to me that they're somehow reading the signal sent to or
from the card hardware to determine what is going on in the 3D display,
which would explain why they claim it works with virtually any 3D
title.
That is, I'd suspect you don't have to do anything special to get
things to work with the glasses. You will certainly know a lot more
after you get them and plug them in. ;)
Too damn bad they don't make a Mac model, and too bad they don't
support laptops. In the latter case at least I think they're really
missing a big market. But they might have limitations imposed by the
display cards themselves so who knows -- I mean, the decision for
support might be based in technological limitations, not marketing
choices.
