3D is coming whether you like it or not. James Cameron’s Avatar made sure that modern 3D wouldn’t fade away like its red and blue counterpart from the 80s. And as time goes on we’ll see more and more 3D options for gaming. Just take a look at this article from USA Today, where Edward C. Baig takes a look at two new 3D enabled laptops.
Each laptop sports different technologies for 3D, and apparently neither are as outstanding as what was used in Avatar. Overall, Baig seems impressed by what he saw, though it’s hard to discern if it’s his love of 3D in general over any actual improvement in realism or immersion.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
Baig’s initial impressions match my skepticism. While 3D in movies can find an acceptable technology standard and keep any extra costs minimal for consumers, 3D in games seems like a war waiting to happen. We might have a PS3 standard, a Nintendo standard, and an Nvidia standard. The cost of the technology will in turn be placed directly upon the consumer, whether through the costs of a new console or in games directly.
Where do you stand, Ranters? Is 3D, whether in the movies, on your television, or in your games, even a blip on your radar? We’re just getting into the thick of motion controls, is 3D something we should expect as well? Make sure and check out the article and share your thoughts.
