Agreed with the thread OP. I've been searching for threads referencing 3D vision so I can force 3D back on as Incarna seems to have forced it to be disabled.
Older threads (pre-Incarna) do mention that the Devs have 3D vision in the office and were checking its level of support now and again. The issues with the interface rendering in 2D was mentioned by the Dev and that it would take a few weeks of recoding the interface to get it to work, such dedicated time to sort the issue was not an option, which is fair enough.
The threads I have found refer to the interval setting being the reason for it not allowing 3D 120Hz. It would be great to hear from CCP what state it's currently in. If it's just a case of allowing us to disable the interval option in the config it might be a quick fix. If it's a case that the new Incarna engine does not allow it to work at all then I'd accept that answer as well as it'll stop me from trying to get it to work in the first place.
As CCP and Nvidia are partners and after watching the Fanfests it does seem that CCP are working with them to implement current and future Nvidia hardware, it makes it a bit more hopefully that Nvidia 3D support may become an option in the future.

EDIT: Aside from the above, it doesn't really do much for EVE, because of the lack of perspective. Most objects are so far away that you can't perceive any depth on them, and the UI elements are rendered in 2d, not in the 3d environment. This means that all of your brackets seem to be "floating" in the middle of nowhere when you turn the 3d on.
Agreed with Taedrin, there isn't a lot of scenery to give you a point of reference for depth, however, it's the ships that stand out. Even though 3D vision wasn't officially supported in the past the ships looked incredible. one of the best 3D scenes I've seen was a carrier undocking and nearly colliding with another carrier. You could finally see the scale of the ships as they slowly re-corrected themselves barely missing each other.
As for the headaches, if you have a low fps the flicker can cause headaches. I've had no issues with playing all day with 3D on, I don't wear glasses but the Nvidia ones are comfortable to the point where I don't notice them, I'm too lost in the game :P
tl;dr Would be great to have an update from CCP, if possible, it would be nice to be able to have the option to turn it on and off.
