French term or phrase:repose-nez
Bonjour. je vous serais bien reconnaissante si vous savez comment on dit un "repose-nez" en anglais. contexte: materiel pour la visualisation d'images 3D. J'ai trouvé nose peg mais humm vu les photos de ces choses sur un chien ou un chameau, je ne pense vraiment pas que ce soit ça.
Merci et au secours.
Explanation: Nous avons donc une paire de lunettes de réalité virtuelles capable d’afficher des images en 640x480. Rassurez-vous, vous pourrez monter en 1024x768 avec vos jeux, mais la bête va se charger de réduire tout cela à sa convenance. Le résultat – dans les jeux – est parfait et bien plus que suffisant, l’image reste très belle et très lisible. Pour le texte, par contre, passez votre chemin, y a pas plus a voir que tantôt, sauf en configurant le jeu en 800x600 et encore. Le headtracker répond excessivement bien, sans latence. Tout est réglable : LE REPOSE NEZ, les écouteurs et l’orientation des écrans (c’est désagréable de ne pas les avoir juste en face), ce qui rend cet appareil tout a fait supportable. Le poid est un plus. De moins de 100 grammes, ce n'est pas un problème dans une utilisation prolongée http://www.obsolete-tears.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=127...

Repose nez - which is an odd term since it does everything but rest your nose - is abundantly used on the Ouèbbhe for those little doodads on spectacles - or even jsut that central part of the glasses frame - that prevent them resting on your cheeks!
It all depends on what this functions as: is it something on which you rest your nose (seems odd!), or perhaps 'against which'? In the latter case, I'd have thought it was more a forehead rest, but perhaps it sits right on the bridge of the nose?
Or then again, is it in fact something that rests against the nose (like the little pads on a pair of glasses, for example) — I'd have thought this unlikely from the FR term used, but probably more plausible.
there is no whole sentence or sentence at all. it is listed with aother equipment such as glasses and transmitters, the context is a contract so this is "marginal."

"Panasonic TY EW3D10U - 3D glasses - active shutter
The glasses come with two nose pad cushions that you can attach to the glasses. One is an upside down V shape that looks similar to what you might see in sunglasses (the ones that don't have the separate little nose pads on wire, but instead have the nose pads as part of the frame)." http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-TY-EW3D10U-glasses-shutter/d...
