I'll be glad to. I am part of a group that creates fully enclosed cockpit type cabinets to help people immerse themselves completely in games without the distractions of the outside world. Since we are a recent startup company we don't yet have the resources for advertising other than our booth at Quakecon but would love to be able to support MTBS3d in the future. Hopefully, since we don't compete with any current MTBS3d sponsors and their equipment can be easily used in our cockpits, Neil won't mind me mentioning that you can go to
www.podwombats.com for further info. We don't sell any 3d related stuff, but you can see how well 3d compliments what we are going for.
To answer Neil's question about the reaction to 3d, it was mostly jaw-dropping disbelief that this was even possible. People were enjoying just watching people play the game since I had two pair of extra 3d glasses just for spectators. When people would get into COD4 in 3d some of them quickly figured out that one of the coolest things to do was crawl through grass. I would say only about 5% claimed they had some eyestrain or thought it was giving them a headache. We were using the new Tri-Def COD4 drivers. They did have a glitch with certain scopes showing a double scope image but hopefully a future driver update will fix that. All in all it was very positive and proved to me that 3d gaming needs a way for the public to try it in a major retail store. I honestly find COD4 a completely different game in 3d than without.
