|  | | Nvidia Releases 3DTV Play Software | 
Nvidia Corporation today announced Nvidia 3DTV Play, its latest software solution that allows consumers to connect their GeForce GPU-powered desktop or notebook computer to new 3D TVs, for the ultimate in big screen 3D gaming action. For the launch of 3DTV Play, Nvidia is teaming up with Panasonic on its coast-to-coast 2010 “Panasonic Touch the Future Tour,” where consumers can test drive 3DTV Play-based PCs running on the new Panasonic VIERA Full HD 3D TVs, that just launched this month.
3DTV Play software lets you connect any compatible Nvidia GeForce GPU-powered PC or notebook to 3D TVs for the ultimate, high-definition, big-screen, 3D entertainment experience. By leveraging the processing power of Nvidia GeForce GPUs, 3DTV Play software delivers the best the PC has to offer: play hundreds of standard PC games in stunning 3D environments such as World of Warcraft – Wrath of the Lich King, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game. You can also watch upcoming Blu-ray 3D Hollywood blockbusters, view digital 3D photographs, and even watch streaming 3D movies for the ultimate viewing party. The active-shutter glasses bundled with each VIERA full HD 3D TV sold work seamlessly with Nvidia GPUs and off-the-shelf PC gaming titles and other 3D entertainment content.
• Can be run on GeForce GPU-based desktop or notebook PCs equipped with an HDMI or DVI connector
• Full support for all HDMI 1.4-compatible 3D TVs, including Panasonic VIERA Plasma full HD 3D TVs (Enables 1080p24, 720p60, and 720p50 3D formats)
• Advanced Nvidia software and graphics drivers automatically convert more than 400 games to stereoscopic 3D in real time, without the need for special patches.
• Enjoy full HD Blu-ray 3D playback with real-time GPU accelerated decoding and playback on GeForce GPUsi
• Watch streaming 3D movies
• View 3D photographs directly on the 3D TV
• Nvidia 3DTV Play software will be available later this spring and sold separately with an anticipated U.S. MSRP of $39.99. It will also be available for free for current Nvidia 3D Vision customers.
“Nvidia is a premier choice for gamers, and 3D Vision TV delivers an easy way for them to game on the big screen, for the ultimate, immersive experience,” said Bob Perry, Senior Vice President, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. “We’re pleased that Nvidia shares our commitment to providing awesome technology to savvy consumers, and we are happy to offer Nvidia the opportunity to highlight their 3D solution as part of our nationwide road show.”
“Nvidia is all about raising the bar of PC gaming, and gamers are going to love playing in 3D on one of the new Panasonic VIERA 50-inch full HD 3D TVs,” said Phil Eisler, general manager of 3D Vision technology at Nvidia. “This is truly one of those ‘must experience to believe it’ moments, and we are ecstatic that consumers will have the chance to try it for themselves on any of our 15 stops across the US.” | | 13 Comments | | | cool! this is why Nvidia is ahead.. innovation...
bet no one was expecting this on such a early stage of 3d tv's! | | | | So long as you have to wear glasses its still just a gimic and I couldnt care less | | | | Quote:

i just don't know when they will arrive! but im 100% sure i read it on a tech magazine! | | | | I dont really see how that would work without glasses, its not like the TV has holographic projection or can beam the image right into your brain, without the glasses you wont get the 3d effect | | | | | | either way using a 3dtv for long periods of time is bad for your eyes, can give u headaicks and make u feel sik after a while also not good for the brain.
So what is the point of a 3d tv | | | | its just the latest sales gimic, I give it a year before people start to clue in that its bs and the novelty wears off | | | | know what no is buying there 3d glasses that the way l see it.if you have a proper 3d tv why would u need the glasses any ways the new tvs dont need the glasses was watching a few videos on the new 3d tvs few ideas people mad so dont need to use 3d glasses.
example
there 1 they had were if 1 person is playing a game there is a camera the camera follows the person only works for 1 person.
there another 1 they made were its just like the 3d glases except its a flat screen of plastic that goes over the tv so any 1 can watch in 3d.
personly l like the last idea so if they do sell these screens l dont think the 3d glasses will do well for nvidia no 1 will need them | | | | That is not the screens or techs they are making/selling, it is the cinema tech, with glasses. | | | | yes but why would u want to buy the stupid glasses when u can get a screen that can do the exact same but work even better | | | | i am sure i read that in future 3d tv's glasses are a thing of the past..
and i suffer from migrane.. i sure don't need more head aches.. O.o | | | | You guys dont understand how this stuff works, you cant eliminate the glasses, the only reason it works is because of the glasses, you could have a big plastic screen sure but it would have to be right infront of your face and not the tv in order to work properly.
Untill they make holographic TV's your gonna need glasses or something else to look through | | | | Hey blindartist
it is true and i now confirm it!
there are tv's capable of 3d with out any special glasses!
at CeBit in Germany in Hannover (last week i think):
a company from Singapore called Sunny Ocean claims you don't need 3d glasses no more if the tv supports the right technology!
these tv's can go from 7" to 100" in size but for now they only gonna commercialize the 27" ones! and i mean this year already! so await new stuff..
some say it's a bit sickening looking at that stuff... but hey im sure it's cool!
it's a tech that is just emerging on the market so im sure prices will be ridiculous!
let's all throw up in the movies together =D |
