HP Zvr/ zSpace 200 Issues

Hi paguba3ee,

Due to the 200 and HP Zvr models having reached their end-of-life phase a couple years ago and our shift to integrated graphics in newer models, our knowledge of supported graphics cards and drivers will continue to become more and more limited over time.

That being said, I can only speculate that it should be possible for for an R9 to run stereo. The major caveat to this is that consumer grade cards that do support stereo, only support it in fullscreen mode. Pro grade cards like AMD’s Firepro cards or Nvidia’s Quadro cards are known to additionally support
windowed stereo.

Another thing to keep in mind is that a fair number of our apps run in a sort of faux fullscreen where it’s actually a maximized window with no border. So, even though some of our apps may look fullscreen, they’re technically not. zSpace Experience may very well be using this trick.

If I’m understanding you right and you can’t run apps in stereo, try the test app below. It uses real fullscreen, so it should help eliminate the windowed limitation as a possible culprit.

If that doesn’t run in stereo, then it’s most likely a graphics driver issue. Latest AMD drivers can be hit-and-miss in terms of stereo display support. It may take some trial-and-error to find one that works. Your best bet will be to focus on WQHL tested drivers and avoid betas.

As for your second issue, nothing will appear to be properly aligned to your vision & stylus unless stereo is operational, so it would be best to focus on that problem first. In the event that the stereo issue is solved and you believe you have alignment issues, please feel free to follow up with me here.
