Test Stereo3D without a Rift?

Hey VR Heads!

I had a question for the Oculus team: is there a way to enable some of the Oculus integration (SBS 3d, distortion) without a Rift connected?

With the version of UDK I was using, I would boot up what I was working on with RealD enabled. It was useful for investigating UI layouts and text size, and also just to see how things looked in SBS 3D. However, it seems that RealD is not included in the Oculus UDK.

I have been mucking around with the config files and the UnrealScript files (Oculus.uc, Stereo3D.uc) and haven't found a clear way to simulate the SBS 3D. Is this just a cut and dry detected/not detected situation going on in the untouchable source code?

It would be great to get a preview of how things will look while I wait for the dev kit to arrive!

    iZ3D somehow works for SBS on my monitor. (without helmet installed)

    except in some parts of the roller coaster it is jumbling (or it jitters, or how to express it)- any idea, how to solve this?

    You should not need to use IZ3D and, in fact, I would not recommend it since it's not the correct format for the Rift.

    So is there some way, I can tweak UDK to display (for example RiftCoaster) in SbS S3D ?
    Because I don't have Rift at home but I do have 3D LG monitor. I know, the experience is different.
    (Or with Rift installed and connected- is there a possibility to watch the same thing on a 3D monitor?)
    Thanks

    Oh, sorry. I thought you were testing on a Rift.

    If you are using a 3D monitor, then maybe take a look at TriDef.

    No problem, I will give TriDef a try!
    Is there a free version of TriDef?

    There is a free trial. The full version costs $50.

    You can try free http://vire.io/games/ - it works with UDK, but stereo effects is "flat" at this moment (it separate view in 2 screens and add distortion, but there is no deph)

    Theres also another, not free driver: http://www.vorpx.com/ - its similar driver for rift, its in beta stage.
