He's really good at marketing himself. I'd bet he knows people, too.AC10 said:

....What "new" technology are you talking about??Stabby Joe said:
you misunderstand the method and technology used to create this "3D", a typical person that says 3D means stereography/autography which is done by displaying red in one eye and blue in the other creates this illusion however truly true 3D (volumetric display and something else) creates a true 3D image in the air with the help of lasersElectrogecko said:
Exhibit A:volumetric display
Exhibit B:stereography/autography (stereography I think)

It's not his fault this site constantly miss-represents Q&A sessions as a press statment
Screw 3d tv sets i want lcd glasses capable of 3d surround vision with at least 1280x1024 resolution(providing it has atleast aa) along with built in motion tracking.
Is that 10 years away from being affordable, given the pace which lcds/etc are improving at?.

Well that's the problem, as I said theirs less groundbreaking, or even new technology. Things like touch screens, 3D, motion controls, hands free (all of which have been around longer than some people think) etc aren't mandatory like the optical disc quickly came.mad825 said:
I've asked this again and again and again and a-FREAKIN-gain, but absolutely nobody has answered it!
Have any of you actually played a 3D game? Or are you just basing 3D as a fad on 3D movies? You cannot interchange 3D movies and 3D games, they don't even use the same technology, and personally I think that 3D has much more potential in games than in movies.
I've played WipeoutHD in 3D on my friend's 3D TV, and it was a blast. At first, yes, it was a bit disorienting, but I got used to it and the glasses were fine on me despite me wearing glasses already.
3D is a very interesting technology to me and it'll be interesting to see how movies, but mostly games, will implement it. There's a lot of potential in exploiting 3D for video games, especially in the survival-horror genre (think of the game fucking with your perception even more).

So far I've skipped HD entirely (though I'm getting close to the point of thinking about getting an HD TV), but out of curiosity I've had a look at the current crop of 3D TVs and monitors, and I can definitely say I'm not going to get one of those just yet.
The TVs are insanely expensive, and every one that I've found thus far uses active glasses, which are both inferior and expensive. I'm holding out for passive (circular polarised) glasses. And I'm tempted to just get a 3D monitor instead of a TV, because they're much cheaper. (They have the same technology problems as TVs, though.)

I've played SuperStar Dust, WipeOut, and RE5 in 3D. The effects weren't too crazy for RE5, but I thought that the 3D effects in WipeOut made it a whole new game. The playstyle was completely different once I got use to the 3D (and the glasses on glasses thing).
I'm interested in how they might combine Move with 3D.
I've read on a short article in GameInformer on Gran Turismo 5, and apparently if you have the Move (specifically the PSEye camera) the game will apply head tracking when you're in first person mode while driving your car (If you don't know what head tracking is, google it, or youtube it, it's pretty nifty.)Pingieking said:
