reshade-shaders VS Depth3D

You might have some luck using the SuperDepth3D shader for ReShade to add SBS support to PC games that were not designed for it. It "works" in that the Rokid Max will properly display the side-by-side images, but I did not succeed in getting it to actually produce a stereoscopic effect for the games I play. I'll update this post if I discover something new.

Obviously I wanted to have 3D PC gaming on the Deck too but I wasn't very optimistic, because 3D vision requires Nvidia drivers (up to version 452.06, Nvidia axed 3D Vision in 2019). There's also the possibility of using some post-processing via reshade (https://reshade.me/, depth3d), but those solutions use the z-buffer, so it's not "proper" 3D.

I still have an old copy of Tridef 3D before it went to crap that will do it, but you can also use ReShade with one of the depth map based shaders such as Depth3D, Superdepth3D, and Superdepth3D VR. This has more artifacts than what you can do in Tridef 3D because Tridef can use a polygonal method where each eye gets a correct view of the individual elements in 3D space wheras ReShade is essential shifting pixels left or right based on depth maps. When it shifts the pixels it doesn't really know what visual information should fill in the area that is now no longer occluded, so it uses various algorithms to try and fill it in, but we're not talking about anything A.I. based (that would be really cool but it'd take a lot of work to produce something that could do this in real time). This results in quite a bit of artifacting around the left and right edges of things, which bothers some people more than others. I find it varies from game to game. True stereoscopic rendering beats out depth map based methods everytime of course.

- This software only takes care of the controls part. The VR view is handled by a third party softs. On this video, I use the free Depth3d companion app available here : https://github.com/BlueSkyDefender/Depth3D. It works perfectly with my app.

There is a free screen mirroring app for Depth3D (https://github.com/BlueSkyDefender/Depth3D). Look for "Depth3D VR Companion App" in the linked page. It seems to support SBS 3D. I have not used it without Depth3D yet, but it might work for you. The app itself does not seem to be open source though.

Reshade with Depth3D is free, and uses depth-buffer 3D. This will give some halo artifacts around closer objects, but it's pretty light on resources, so it lets you bump up resolution and details. There's also a free VR viewer from the dev. https://github.com/BlueSkyDefender/Depth3D
