To install my displays into an NV Surround configuration was quite easy and agitation free. The process is very simplistic and well thought out…NVIDIA’s bezel correction is much easier to use than AMD’s as it has a better graphic that is easier to “eyeball.”…Overall NVIDIA did a better job on its Surround driver configuration than AMD did. Not that AMD’s difficult, but NVIDIA simplified the process making it feel less intimidating and more intuitive.NVIDIA 3D VIsion Surround Experience

They have made huge strides towards usability and the process is extremely user friendly as it only involves a few steps. Naturally, these being beta drivers means there are still some speedbumps along the road but for the most part NVIDIA should be proud of what they have accomplished. For example, my usual litmus test for usability -called, “the girlfriend”- resulted in a 15 minute setup time from plugging in the monitors to a fully functional surround setup. To show you how easy it this [sic] was, below is an unedited video showing the steps.NVIDIA’s 3D Vision Surround: A Game Changing Experience?

 

My role: User experience lead

• Design and specify the product’s software experience, including the setup wizard.
• Iterate with marketing and engineering teams to envision, prioritize and deliver features.
• Observe and annotate user study sessions. Re-factor the product in response to study findings.
• Create clickable prototypes to fuel user testing and explore the solution space.
• Create brief product videos to align the engineering, marketing, and design teams towards common goals.
• Perform competitive analysis.
• Collaborate with visual designer Po Wang to produce information graphics, look and feel.
• Design an industry-leading interface for bezel correction, which enables the viewer to reduce the distortion of images that span multiple displays.
