Nvidia includes one pair of shutter glasses in their 3D Vision kit, SKU 942-10701-0003. It also contains a VESA Stereo port for connecting supported DLP TV sets, although standalone operation without a PC with installed Nvidia 3D Vision driver is not allowed. The wireless emitter connects to the USB port and interfaces with the underlying driver software. The glasses use wireless IR protocol and can be charged from a USB cable, allowing around 60 hours of continuous use. It requires a compatible graphics card from Nvidia (GeForce 200 series or later). The kit is specially designed for 120 Hz LCD monitors, but is also compatible with CRT monitors (some of which may work at 1024×768×120 Hz and even higher refresh rates), DLP-projectors, 3LCD projectors and others.

The NVIDIA 3D Vision gaming kit introduced in 2008 made this technology available for mainstream consumers and PC gamers. This was available for Sega's game console, the Master System.

LCD shutter glasses appeared in the 1980s, one example of which is Sega's SegaScope. Electrically controlled mechanical shutter glasses date back to the middle of the last century. There have been many examples of shutter glasses. Nvidia 3D Vision (previously GeForce 3D Vision) is a discontinued stereoscopic gaming kit from Nvidia which consists of LC shutter glasses and driver software which enables stereoscopic vision for any Direct3D game, with various degrees of compatibility.
