Hi David,
I was just reading your site and we are impressed that you will be bringing your 3D
technology to the Playstation 3 in the near future. For the benefit of our site's readers could you provide more details on the specifications of the screens needed to view the 3D features that will be provided. As you will probably be aware most PS3 owners will already have bought new HD screens shortly after, or before, they got their consoles so would be unwilling i guess to upgrade already at such an early stage of the consoles lifespan (10 years according to Sony). I hope you can answer my request as i would like to run an article on your product in the near future.
All the Best, Tone.

5 days later i got this reply:-
Tony:
We support all of the displays listed here: http://www.3dmovielist.com/3dhdtvs.html
The list includes XPOL line interlaced TVs and DLP checkerboarding TVs - which are the most common.
Regards,
David Cole

yeah, thanks Dave. well, i'm sure that answers all of our questions about 3D gaming on the PS3, http://next3d.com/ is the future *coffs*
Hmmmm, shame he didn't spend more time and actually answer your questions. I can't see myself buying a new TV for a long time!
ReplyDeleteX-Pol LCD
ReplyDeleteThe Xpol Stereoscopic 3D is an optical device based on regularly arranged micro-polarizers. By bonding it to a flat-panel display, such an LCD display, the user can view flicker-free 3D stereoscopic content simply by wearing polarizer glasses. Additionally, Xpol is completely compatible with both projection and direct view displays.This is a new generation of stereoscopic screen, looking like a normal monitor, but incorporating Xpol micro-polarisers. When viewed through circular polarising glasses, each eye sees odd and even lines allowing horizontally interlaced stereoscopic 3D images to be viewed.Circular polarized material alternately polarizes horizontal rows of pixels on the display. The 3D image is created by placing the left eye image into odd numbered rows and the right eye image in even numbered rows. The lenses in the 3D glasses are also polarized with material ensuring only the left eye sees the left image and vice versa. The circular polarizers maintain 3D image integrity while accommodating a wider range of head movement by the end-user.Xpol, stereoscopic 3D is capable with only 1 project, thus making it a much more affordable and transportable solution. Second, Xpol can be applied to LCD direct view displays. And given the proliferation of LCD displays today, this means that with Xpol, stereoscopic 3D is possible with any LCD desktop or notebook display.
@ reakt- i agree though, i've only had my new TV less than two years, no way am i upgrading it. think i'll stick to watching 3D at the cinema :)
ReplyDeletethink it will remain "gimmicky" for a while
ReplyDeleteshame they can't adapt the current technology so you can utilise your exisiting plasma/lcd
