New Product Category: The 3D PC

“Today we are creating a new category of PC—the 3D PC,” said Phil Eisler, general manager of 3D Vision at NVIDIA, during the HPA 3D Super Session.

He suggested that 3D is coming to a growing range of PCs, listing many that were highlighted at CES including the Acer netbook, as well as mobile devices and new tablets.

He also emphasized opportunities in gaming, adding that NVIDIA has had “no negative feedback from gamers who have tried 3D stereo.”

As for Blu-Ray, he added: “The data rate is fine for the majority of PCs for 3D BluRay. You can get a great end-to-end 3D experience on a PC.”

Eisler also addressed developments occurring in streaming, noting that NVIDIA is working with companies such as Adobe. The pair are working on active shutter glass technology for the home, which is currently in beta.

Eisler noted that YouTube already has over 5,000 3D videos posted “of varying quality.” He added that at this point, viewing generally includes anaglyph.
