Toronto, Ontario, April 25, 2012 – Stereoscopic 3D (S-3D) games and displays have been pioneered by the innovations of manufacturers, technology enablers, and game publishers.  Despite their success, the concepts of quality assurance, customer satisfaction, and enticing 3D experience are largely divided and inconsistent.  For media, the lack of standardized 3D quality and performance benchmarking tools are equally challenging.

"As a tech journalist who has written articles about stereoscopic 3D hardware and software, I can say from firsthand experience that it's a complex subject.  I've seen credible websites post misinformation caused by a lack of understanding, and I think all journalists would benefit from a standardized and objective method of comparing these solutions," said Don Woligroski, Senior Editor & Technology Reviewer.

The S-3D Gaming Alliance (S3DGA) is forming a Press Steering Team comprised of leading media and industry representatives to jointly define the methods for testing and reviewing 3D games, 3D displays, and related 3D products in a measurable and objective way.  Subjective opinions and artistic choices will remain unaffected.

Toronto, Ontario (April 10^th, 2012) – Meant to be Seen (mtbs3D.com), the world's first and only stereoscopic 3D Certification and Advocacy group is celebrating its fifth year in operation.

Continuing its website re-launch, Meant to be Seen has enhanced its picture gallery and community forums with full stereoscopic 3D support. Compatible 3D options include AMD HD3D, Nvidia 3D Vision, Interlaced, 3D DLP, anaglyph, and more.

“It used to be that viewing images in a gallery or forum required that you download the picture first, and then view it in a separate player. MTBS’ forums and gallery let you view 3D images right away no matter what type of glasses or graphics card you are using on PC. It’s a great community tool for sharing 3D screenshots of games, personal 3D photos, and more. This will make 3D fun for everyone,” said Neil Schneider, CEO of Meant to be Seen.

Compatible with HTML5 supported browsers including Firefox, Opera, and Google Chrome, this 3D compatibility is made possible by special software plug-ins written by Kirill Gavrilov, also the author of sView – one of the most well respected 3D image and video players in the market.
