NVIDIA Offers 3D Glasses For the Masses 261
Vigile writes "A new stereoscopic 3D gaming technology has hit the street today from NVIDIA, though demoed earlier in the year, that promises to bring high quality 3D gaming to the PC. The GeForce 3D Vision technology utilizes active shutter glasses and a 120 Hz display (either 120 Hz LCD or 3D-Ready DLP TVs) to bring an immersive 3D effect to PC games. Using the depth buffer information stored in DirectX, the NVIDIA software is able to construct a stereo 3D image out of existing game content while the 120 Hz requirement gives each eye 60 frames of motion per second negating the physical detriments that were known to occur with previous 3D offerings. The review at PC Perspective details how the technology works, the performance hit your games take while using it and the advantages and disadvantages to the user's gaming experience with 3D Vision."

Who thought of selling a 3d display system for gaming?
Let's see. How many gamers watch porn regularly?
Now, how many non-gamers watch porn regularly?
And finally, how many games get so greater for being in 3d as porn?
How hard can it be to sell a product with "Full 3D titties. $X. Pay here."
How hard? I ask you.

So, I definitely want one, but I'm not going to pretend that this would be remotely useful until I upgrade to a brand new machine.
Well, you could buy it now and, while you wait for a more powerful rig, use it on older games.
Like tetris.

It is often the case that "gaming" is code for "porn." That's just how they have to market it to the mainstream.
Same as how "home video" was code for "home porn."
Same as how "internet access" was code for "porn access."
Same as how "broadband" is code for "more porn."
Same as how "high-def" is code for "clearer porn."
You get the picture.
(Which is code for "you get porn.")

3 young lasses from Manassas made glasses for the masses rendering 3d in two passes. Currently the glasses are omitting noxious gasses and they're receiving an action lawsuit in classes so they really need to cover their asses.
more as time passes.

What if someone used this technology for a mod for Mirror's Edge.

Yes, but you do need a girlfriend, and that's something a lot of us are lacking.
