Nvidia to enable 3D Blu-ray viewing

[Wreckage]

Currently, the 3D Vision software renders more than 400 PC games in 3D, including recently launched Batman Arkham Asylum and Avatar the Game.

Nvidia also is working on advancing its 3D Vision software so that it also renders other Web-based properties in 3D. By early 2010, the company plans to offer 3D viewing of Google Earth, photo programs Flickr and Snapfish and streaming site Hulu.com.

3D Hulu! :awe:

Hopefully this will lead to 24" 120Hz monitors.

I imagine how cool it will look on a 52" 120hz TV.

Unless you have a dlp ,120hz interpolation on most consumer lcds is useless for 3d.

I wonder if the new "240Hz" TVs will make a difference?

In the argument between 3d vision and Eyefinity, is it legal to like and want both?

NV's 3d Vision has such incredible potential for games as well as science and education. I used a consumer grade NV video card to run a Geowall (passive 3d projection system) at the University I worked at and it really helped students understanding of concepts because they could see 3d effects in 3d. We also used it to play Quake on after hours and it was awesome.

At the same time, Eyefinity's ability to drive so many large monitors at the same time is equally cool. I've used multi-monitor setups since DOS days (Borlands Turbo Pascal for DOS allowed you debug on one monitor while watching the output on another. I had to have one ISA video card and one VESA video card in the PC to do it). Using multiple monitors is extremely flexible.

Personally I hope they both take off like a rocket.

This could be very, very cool.

It's just more interpolation. Unless its an actual 120hz TV (only DLP IIRC) it's not the same.

3D vision cuts frequency by half, 60Hz for each eye on 120Hz LCD. If human can see difference between 60 and 120 without 3D vision, then there will be a difference under 3d.

I was curious about it because I have a 120Hz LCD TV, but no dice.

There are LCD HDTVs that are on the market that claim to display at 120 to 240 Hz refresh rate. These type of displays use framerate conversion or backlight flashing to convert 60 Hz signals to 120 Hz or above. This technology is incompatible and Not 3D Ready. Shutter-based 3D stereocopy relies on two completely different images (one for each eye) being displayed in alternating order.

Right now NVIDIA's 3D Blu-ray capable on existing GeForce GT 220 and GT 240 GPUs

So are there any LCD TV's that are capable of working with nvidia's 3D stereoscopic display?

 

[mmnno]

For example, rival manufacturer Asus just began shipping the industry’s first 120 hertz netbook, which comes bundled with Nvidia’s 3D Vision software for $1,699. People also can buy just the netbook, without the 3D Vision support, for $1,499.

I guess Dirk Meyer was right.

As I already posted many times: this current, hacked-messy Nvidia tech is a dead end. Some enthusiasts will jump on it but no mass acceptance before they put it into the display (TV included) - based on Sony's, Samsung's and Panasonic's efforts 2011 will be the year when 3D TVs will appear en masse so don't really expect any decent 3D in computers either before late 2010...

This.

See above.

Call me when you polarize your pupils.

Lol you made me snort coffee out my nose !

-With the new replacement lenses for cataract patients, you might be receiving that phone call sooner than you think!

But seriously its a gimmick and will remain one regardless of which company attempts it (ATI or Nvidia).

I agree

I don't think the average American will have the neck strength to support them for two whole hours....

Ehh? Build the TV/display properly and forget these idiotic, stupid glasses (especially Nvidia's lame active ones.)

Exactly my point (sans neck strength )...
There's no way regular people will tolerate it.

I knew a guy once who had to wear glasses all day...
