I recently broke my nvidia 3d vision 2 infared emitter but was wondering would any infared emitter work with the glasses. I've had a search online but cannot find any answer about it
My understanding is no - there's a microprocessor in the emitter which controls their specific timings. While this can be emulated with other hardware and software, it's not as simple as merely plugging another emitter in.
That being said, 3DTV Corp (3dmagic.com) sells an emitter they say works with Vision 2 - http://www.3dmagic.com/ (click on Universal Home/Pro 8 Protocol Infra-red Emitter Gen2)
From the manual, supported modes are:
● Red — Model X, I/O, E-Dimensional, X3D, Model E, Model U, Mode
● Orange – Nvidia® ,Model U, Model N, Model NV1, NV2, Model E
● Orange Blinking – Samsung® 3rd

● Green blinking— Model C, XpanD® 101, 103, JVC DLA, Philips, Model E, Model U, Model N, HP Envy, Volfoni , C1, CK, CF
● Red blinking — Model E, Model U, X103, Model N
● Green —StereoGraphics® CrystalEyes ®, realD® CrystalEyes ®, Model E, Model U, Model N
● Green - Orange alternating — Model E, Model U, Model N, Sony® , X103, Model JP
YMMV.. Unfortunately Nvidia chooses not to sell the infrared emitter on its own, so unless you can find an original one on eBay (funnily enough, this one is being sold by the same company as the above, through their ebay store - http://stores.ebay.com/3dtvcorp), then you might be looking at another whole kit.
forget nvidia's 3d vision no matter the version i am waiting for the oculas rift now that is something i cannot wait for
AMD's is good as well, though it's technically third party software. It more or less depends on the game, nVidia is better on some, AMD is better on some.
