1. Getting the application to run in fullscreen at the native resolution of the 3D display with 32-
bit color.

2. Finding out where to install the Visualizer so it will be used by the application. This step is
discussed in section 4.
3. Determining when and where to extract depth information. See the description of the
DepthTriggerCondition setting in 6.8 for more information on this step.
4. Tuning the depth settings to get a proper depth effect as explained in sections 6.10 through
6.12.
5. Depending on the application it may be useful to configure several extra features of the
Visualizer, such as improving HUD readability (see 6.15) or turning mouse cursor drawing on
or off (see 6.16).
6. Cleaning up the configuration file by removing any unneeded settings
An example of this process is included in appendix A and includes more details on steps 3 and 4 in
particular.
