Deciding factor for the W1


First let me explain the main confliction and what ultimately caused the impulse to order the W1.  I started reading as many reviews that I could find on the W1 to understand the camera a little better.  There weren’t too many reviews on the Internet about the W1 (well in English anyway) but I was able to stumble across different experiences that seemed to have its ups and downs.  I was worried about viewing the pictures from the W1 and what I was supposed to do with them.  One of the reviews that I read had some anaglyph converted pictures of some geese on a lake.  I don’t remember where I saw the review but I grabbed my Time Traveler (PC game version) anaglyph glasses that came with the game and was able to view the pictures in 3D.  The picture itself wasn’t the greatest but the way the water looked was phenomenal.  I read some other reviews and found out about specific software that people were using to view the pictures on the computer.  It was “StereoPhoto Maker” and “SteroMovie Maker” which was genius software created by a person in Japan.  I downloaded that first and installed it to see if what it was about and it was an early version of the software from mid 2009 being that there is now an updated version. I opened it up and it ran but of course I did not have any 3D photos to try. I also downloaded the user manual for the W1 just for curiosity. Having the software on the computer and the manual caused me to say to myself “Screw it” and I went to the Nvidia website and ordered the W1.  I could of ordered it off of other websites but I only wanted the camera and I planned to order items in the future anyway from Nvidia.  A few days later I got a phone call from my credit card company because they weren’t sure about the charge but I told them it was okay! A few weeks later the package arrived!
