Introduction

Welcome to Meant to be Seen (MTBS), the world's first and only stereoscopic 3D Certification and Advocacy group!

Stereoscopic 3D (S-3D) is the ability to display visible depth through two dimensional media. S-3D has proven very successful in the cinema space with popular movies like Beowulf, U23D, Hanna Montanna, Meet the Robinsons, and many more to come. So popular, that these S-3D cinema experiences earn 2:1 and 3:1 revenue compared to traditional 2D theaters.

With millions of gamers going to movie theaters and enjoying this visual feast, the consumer S-3D space is becoming equally popular. Available solutions include stereoscopic 3D monitors, high resolution Head Mounted Displays (HMD), 3D HDTV solutions, and single and dual projector setups.

Imagine a ghost flying through your screen or a level of depth that makes it look like your monitor is a windshield - this is the excitement that games have missed out on until now!

MTBS' mission is to promote and foster superior game immersion and visual beauty, and the only way to do that is through stereoscopic 3D technology.

Independently run, MTBS represents the interests of end consumers and providers of stereoscopic 3D solutions. While young, MTBS has become the largest S-3D website in existence today. This site feautures active discussion forums, game reviews, interviews and coverage of the leading names in the industry (e.g. Real D, NVIDIA, Dolby 3D, iZ3D, etc.), and much much more. We even have our own Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) called MTBS Nations at War!

MTBS has six purposes:

1) To advocate and educate consumers and game developers so stereoscopic 3D is both properly implemented, and becomes a mass market industry success.
2) To certify video games in the marketplace and in development so members of MTBS will know which games are appropriate to buy for their stereoscopic 3D setup.
3) To develop and promote programming standards that will help game developers release stereoscopic 3D games with little to no compatibility problems.
4) To endorse and benefit game engines that natively support participating stereoscopic 3D solutions so end-consumers get the best S-3D experience possible, and game developers have reduced development time.
5) To offer membership discounts on Stereoscopic 3D products, services, and compatible software.
6) Most importantly, add a new level of FUN to the gaming community!

For this initiative to work, we ask that you take advantage of our complementary membership. All video game players, developers, and technology enthusiasts are very welcome here, and we look forward to your input and ideas in our mtbs3D.com forums. You do not have to own a Stereoscopic 3D solution to be a valued member of this organization.

Membership benefits are outlined throughout the site, and so far, the response has been tremendous.

Please read the " President's Message", "Press", and "News" sections regularly, as there are going to be exciting updates on a regular basis.
