Realview Innovations Turns 2D PSP to 3D

Post by cybereality »

A new piece of hardware from Realview Innovations will turn the 2D screen into 3D.

THe V-Screen will enhance the perceived depth of 2 dimensional screen images and renders a full 3D experience from the PSP screen. The hardware will not require any software, electronic or headgear and will attach itself to the PSP.

Official site here (but its only the promo image shown above):

The patent they have on the device:

From what I understand its using a proprietary Fresnal lens that acts sort of like a lenticular lens (ie performing a slightly different distortion for each eye). Its not real stereo 3D at all, its some sort of hack. I guess this might be on the same level as the pulfrich effect. If the device costs like under $20, I might pick it up just for fun but otherwise is seems like a cheap gimmick.

Pathetic, Red/Cyan on your PSP would be better than this crud.

Wait until the next generation of hand-held consoles? Maybe they will be 3D. Although I doubt Nitendo will ever be interested in 3D.

As for Netbooks, I think iz3D should start contacting Netbook/Laptop makers. Maybe you should create a post suggesting this on their forums?
Make up your own opinions, don't believe B.S! Especally when its about a human and spread with the intent of ruing that persons life.

3D is the Future of Viewing Tech, you see in 3D naturally so how can it not be something you want on your screens?!

Dude I already did, one step ahead of you ;) You can already do anaglyph on the PSP, try it out and tell us what you think.

I dont know why nintendo wouldn't be interested, the future's so bright, I gotta wear shades! ;)

I remember nintnedo's stereo tennis game with red graphics, ugg, but at least Nintendo gave it a try.

Too bad no other games supported this device.

If anyone has one of these download a side-by-side video from YouTube, load it into StereoMovie Maker and make sure it is in parallel, that is the left-eye image is on the left, right-eye, the right.

Save (or covert the movie with MediaCoder freeware) as AVC MPEG-4 and your ready to enjoy 3D on PSP!
