The Next Xbox to Support Stereoscopic 3D?

[yuriythebest]

From TeamXbox, the same site that may or may not have broken news on a PSP-like Microsoft handheld, comes a marked rumor about the next Xbox.

...in addition to built-in Natal tech, a key feature of the next Xbox would be full HD stereoscopic 3D visuals similar to 3D movie theatres.

And that's everything they said on the matter.

So while the Xbox 360 would be getting Natal, the Xbox 720 (or whatever you want to call it) could have Natal and 3D immersion. TeamXbox claims that the 720 won't be launched until 3D television solutions go more mainstream, which by my guesstimation won't happen within four years.

Still, with Hollywood's focus on 3D, it's not hard to believe that Microsoft would design their home entertainment console to match—even if the risk would be huge.

But for now, this is all just rumor. If TeamXbox's portable Xbox story comes to fruition, we'll allow ourselves to get a little more excited

not much I can comment without knowing whether it's anaglyph or not...

That would be awesome but it sounds like a bogus rumor to me. $20 says it won't happen.

Also, while the comments still seemed negative, at least people are a bit more informed about 3D solutions.

I think 3D would be very good with Natal:

(Talk about immersion!)

I think that driving wheel made of air won't have a very strong force feedback , but the rest seems amazing. Maybe too much, it's hard to believe that such a posture recognition technology exists.

it's hard to believe that such a posture recognition technology exists.

Its called Stereo 3D (Natal uses 2 camera's)

Edit: Maybe not, according to Wiki one of the Camera's is only a "Depth Sensor". Make up your own minds from this picture!!

3D TV's are so stupid. who the hell wants to wear glasses everytime they watch TV? What happens when you have friends over. Is everyone going to have a stash of 3D glasses laying around, I hope this phase blows over soon.

Typical remarks, although most of the comments did seem positive.

Since this rumor is up, someone picked my assasin's creed video on youtube and embedded it on his news site.
I got 1000 more viewers for one day.
