Videogame publishers are launching their first high-profile stereoscopic 3D titles, Resident Evil and Avatar, even though few consumers own the equipment to enjoy such advanced eye-popping effects at home.

About 2% to 3% of U.S. households own a 3D-enabled TV, which is required to enjoy the same 3D technology used in theatrical movies. Many DVD studios have been forced to downgrade big-screen stereoscopic 3D projects to lesser-quality anaglyph imagery to fit the majority of consumers’ TV display equipment. Paramount Home Entertainment is not releasing DreamWorks Animation’s Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D on DVD or Blu-ray Disc because it would be inferior to the theatrical version.

However, publishers think gamers are uniquely primed to adopt advanced 3D for their homes sooner rather than later, especially due to the increasing prevalence of 3D-capable PC display screens. For that reason, Capcom is introducing Resident Evil stereoscopic 3D solely for PCs this fall. Manufacturers began launching such displays, with necessary 120HZ refresh rates, in a big way starting this year.

“This is the first major PC release developed with 3D in mind,” said Chris Kramer, Capcom senior director of communications. “There are more 120HZ computer screens out there than 3D-enabled TVs.”

To play Resident Evil in 3D, viewers need this type of high-speed display plus the Nvidia 3D Vision software kit. People will be able to buy Resident Evil, with both 2D and 3D playback options, on disc or as a download.

Nvidia 3D software has enabled advanced 3D gaming on a number of PC titles, but Capcom insists that Resident Evil represents a major step up in stereoscopic technology.

“This is one of the first games to really support out-of-screen experiences throughout, where arms, hands, everything, literally jumps out,” said Kramer.

Ubisoft is so confident that advanced 3D at home is the future, it will debut a stereoscopic Avatar for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which are connected to TVs, later this year. This version also can be played in 2D on the consoles. The Avatar game, likely hitting a few weeks before James Cameron’s film of the same name bows in theaters on Dec. 18, also will be available on advanced 3D for PCs.

“We need to prove to everyone that it’s possible to do a great 3D game right now,” said Patrick Naud, Ubisoft executive producer. “People expect 3D to be those basic red and blue [anaglyph] glasses. We want to take that risk and go all in to break that perception.”

Like Capcom, Ubisoft sees benefits in cornering the stereoscopic 3D game business early. Ubisoft has no formal plans to develop additional advanced 3D console games after Avatar, but will be using the title to gauge consumer interest in the technology.

“We want to build technology capital with Avatar,” said Naud. “We’ll be the first ones to have [stereoscopic] 3D for consoles. And if 3D is the next big thing, then we will be a few years ahead of everyone.”

Disney Interactive also is throwing its support behind 3D, albeit with baby steps, by launching the company’s first anaglyph titles with G-Force and Toy Story Mania. Both G-Force (due July 21 for PS3 and Xbox 360 in 3D) and Toy Story Mania (coming Sept. 15 exclusively for the Wii) will contain glasses that can access 3D effects with any current TV display. Titles also will include a 2D playback option.

The publisher recognizes the resulting imagery is not up to theatrical, stereoscopic standards. But Disney Interactive similarly wants to bow its first 3D game titles at the same time that consumers are viewing 3D content on the big screen.

Walt Disney will bow the 3D G-Force feature film on July 24. The studio is expected to launch 3D versions of the two Toy Story theatricals in October.

“We’re obviously very aware of what’s going on in the theaters,” said Brian Leake, VP of technology at Disney Interactive. “It’s early days for that display technology in homes today. But if you want to reach the mass market consumer today, the easiest way to experience it straight out of the box is through anaglyph technology.”

Probably should be under console gaming but

RealD, the world's leading 3D technology provider for cinema and professional applications, announced that video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games has introduced RealD's proprietary Stereoscopic Gaming API into their development environment. The technology delivers an automated continuous approach to 3D that is compatible with real-time rendering and promises to bring RealD's world-renowned 3D cinema experience to console gaming.

"RealD 3D introduced a new era of movies, giving filmmakers the ability to take audiences inside distant worlds, immersing them deeper into stories than ever before," said Joshua Greer, President of RealD. "RealD technology can now do the same for gaming by creating ultra-realistic 3D experiences where players can literally step inside a game and interact with a fully dimensionalized environment. This new generation of RealD 3D powered video games will for the first time truly replicate on screen the way we see and interact with our world."

"RealD has the world's best 3D technology, as evident by their leading the current 3D movie revolution," said Shin Unozawa, President & Chief Executive Officer, NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. "We look forward to our developers leveraging RealD's decades of 3D expertise and this breakthrough technology to deliver an unsurpassed and true-to-life 3D gaming experience."

The RealD Stereoscopic Gaming API is a toolkit of proprietary 3D technology designed to solve issues inherent with existing 3D gaming technology. This includes creating the perception of depth across the entire line of sight, eliminating any 'cardboard cut-out' background affects. The API also gives developers new gameplay tools like head tracking and automatic camera adjustments, creating a fully immersive 3D gaming experience that interacts with a player visually and physically.

Features of the RealD Stereoscopic Gaming API include:
- RealD stereoscopic output format - visually lossless universal 3D format for multiplexing a left/right stereoscopic image stream into a single image channel.

- Auto-camera - auto adjustment technology for viewing angles in changing scenes to assure comfortable viewing of crisp, clear 3D effects.

- Depth budget allocation - automated continuous 3D effects compatible with real-time rendering to create natural looking depth from the foreground to the farthest horizon.

- Negative disparity control - eliminates edge-intercepting objects from breaking frame and creating broken 3D effects.

- Head tracking - player head movements are tracked by a peripheral web-camera with 3D environments that rotate naturally about the screen plane to ensure image separation is always parallel to a player's eyes for more realistic effects.

RealD's Stereoscopic Gaming API will be implemented in upcoming as yet unannounced NAMCO BANDAI Games titles.

Check out Next3d on youtube might be better than 3d satellite
channels. Guess it'll be blocked from streaming outside the USA.

PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3d has been released
it can only convert 2d dvd's to 3d - 3d vision. But by winter
a free upgrade will make it play 3d Blurays.
Can also do row interleaved 3d for polarised screens.


I bought it and By switching to polarised 3d and adjusting the scene depth for less parallax then switching back to 3d vision viewing the 2d to 3d is as good as any other known instant 2d to 3d conversion method. Much like 3dfier perhaps better.
Cheers

Wonder what Nvidia 3D Vision Discover is like, just need a 9600-GT or better G2 chip

[Jaz808]

Stupid Nvidia 3D Vision Discover, doesnt work on plasma tv, nned a LCD or CRT, and PowerDvd-10 3D Ultra is not Red/Blue Anaglyphic

[Jaz808]

Got it working on Panasonic Plasma, but too much Ghosting and screen res is off, very nice on a LCD Monitor though, cant wait till 120hz monitors drop or 3D Tv is out

[ageno2gen1]

, cant wait till 120hz monitors drop or 3D Tv is out

same here!

[Jaz808]

3D Vision Discover is not too bad that uses the Anaglyph Red/Blue glasses, not a lot of colour, there is reg hacks to add a bit more colour and some games look pretty good, but its more depth than popout 3D, there is a little bit of popout and playing BurnOut Paradise is good when you run over light posts, bins, and road blocks, they fly towards the screen

Stereoscopic with shutter glasses should be amazing

After doing lets of reading and researching DLP TV's & DLP Projectors work just as good as 120mhz screens

[Jaz808]

Order a Alienware Monitor and Nvidia Glasses today, now just have to wait till it arrives, all reviews say its awsome

Alienware OptX™ AW2310 23" 3D
This code gets %15 off, thats $75 from Dell Aus
