Computex 2008: Sapphire develops 3D gaming graphics driver

Post by yuriythebest »

ew 3D gaming technology was on show at Computex, Taiwan today with Sapphire demonstrating two systems using it's new stereoscopic graphics driver and Sapphire-branded 3D monitors. The new driver 'polarise a stereoscopic image, which can be displayed on a two-layer LCD screen' said Bill Donnelly, Global PR Director for Sapphire Technology.

By using a special pair of polarised sunglasses, each eye can only see one of the two layers of the LCD, and when the brain combines the two images from both eyes, it makes the image on screen appear 3D. This is the same technique Nvidia uses for its Nvidia 3D Stereo driver to achieve the same effect.

is it just me or, with the exception of the buttons, the screens look pretty much just like the iz3d? and the glasses are identical as well, oh and they have their own "universal drivers"... Hopefully Welder / BlackQ will comment.

sorry about that- I saw it posted as "recent news" on really.ru and even though I knew I saw something similar earlier my knee jerk reaction was to post it just in case :)
