Hey folks,

I think the Sony 24" 3D Display retails for $499. I saw it in the Best Buy ad for this week for $399. I was browsing the store and noticed it for $299. I quickly snatched one up...but after an hour or so of using it, I got very nauseated. I ended up returning it. Definitely worth checking out, though...
 
I have the same thing with the shutter glasses. I'd rather have a triple screen setup then a 3D setup to be honest.

+1 and DO! I have 3 37" Vizio LED LCD 1080p @ 60Hz. 120Hz was a little to nauseating. I now have an Asus card in it with 2GB dedicated ram. I avg. anywhere from 120-200fps.
 
Honestly people, just wait until OLED and glasses-less 3D TVs hit the market. OLED will render everything now obsolete. And holographic 3D it a thousand times better than wearing stupid glasses.
 
I agree although holographs still are in early stages of development, however they just began to add multiple colors.

OLED is brilliant and I find my OLED screen in my Samsung MP3 player still better then the retina diplay in my iPhone 4 with backlight.
 
I hope the graphics have improved though, those look 10 years old. I remember playing Delta Force 3 with those graphics... 10 years ago.

Having such a setup for racing is possible though... if you have the budget. It's just standard computer tech. Haven't seen much special stuff. The headset looks nice, but is a compact and much enhanced version of something that Nintendo made long time ago. The Nintendo Virtual boy.

This is the later technology...



In the end we want something more like this...

You can't have that if the current technology bombs. I have been gaming in 3D since 1998 and love it. you have to set it up correctly. without people adopting whats out now companies will just give up. 3D when done correctly is awesome.

Yeah, we get that all of the time. It's hard explaining to people the difference between videogames and simulation. I'd love to help make things look more realistic and snazzy like in Crysis and Battlefield 3, but keeping multiple computers synced up at 60+ FPS is very hard...especially with "game" levels the size of countries, and I'm not talking about the little ones. We have racks just for the SAF (AI) system, image generators, sound processors, etc. and they all have to work in unison. Anyway...

I know what you mean as I come from an IT background myself. I never expected crysis, but maybe more Unreal Tournament level. Just a bit better textures for easier terrain and troop recognition.

Also why would you need to render an entire world in one go? Wouldn't an xx amount of radius around an individual be more efficient? Of course taking into account the maximum speed of individual either by foot or vehicle and the time it takes to load up the data.

Anyway just a thought as rendering mother earth 24/7 seems to be way too inefficient. Unless there is someone on every corner of every street in the world.
 
Most LCD/LED TVs have quite average 3D quality because of the screen lag.
Some Plasma models are better for this, notably Panasonic and some Samsung.

DLP projector technology does not suffer from this lag so no after images which particulary in 3D can be a real annoyance.

3D can be quite impressive, depending on the hardware used and of course the source material.

Well why not have best of both worlds, run triple screens in triple 3D! :)
Havnt seen this demonstrated before with GT5 and Sonys own 3DTV models do not as far as I am aware support multiple displays via 1x set of 3D glasses. I will be looking to go for that and carry on the testing I avhieved with 2x screens in 3D purchasing another projector in Jan to continue on "Project R" hardware setup work for triple 3D goal. Chances are this will help drive me back to PC gaming to enjoy more games in such a way.

3D technology is way to much overrated. It's not worth any money 👎

Not for me its not, some games are really good and the beauty is when you dont want the 3D, you dont run it simple...

For that Latte you need at least something like a Quad-SLI GTX580 setup. At least if you still want max graphics settings at decent FPS as well in all games.

No you dont mate ...
Simple reason is you stick to 720p vertical with max details.
So 3840x720 is all that is needed. Its a bit more taxing than a single 24" native res.
3D yes may require more but I would consider 2x decent cards or await the next models to arrive in a single card that could cope with it.

The projectors I have are Nvidia 3D ready but use much superior glasses than Nvidias own.

Yeah okay lowering the res by half saves a lot of calculation power. I was like you already took into account only thinking in 1080p.
Btw the 600 series by Nvidia won't be interesting, the 700 however will. Just lookup their latest roadmap.

Yeah, we just load a radius of about 20 kilometers into memory and render about 15 of it on screen. In the "virtual world", the SAF computers knows everything that is happening. However, the image generators will only render what is near the user.

The video that was posted doesn't do the AVCATT/NCM3 any justice. It looks much better in person. Though, the image generators we're using only allow two layers of textures right now.
 
I have a top of the line Samsung 63" 3D TV and it's awesome. It's not like the 50's with things flying off the screen. Alice in Wonderland is well done in 3D. And to end the debate of "spit or swallow" watch Piranha's in 3D. :D
 
This sounded promising, but according to my research it's not PC compatible via Nvidia 3DTV Play. I really hope the various companies can sort out this compatibility mess before the technology withers and dies.
