Samsung Experiments with 2D-3D Conversion

In one part of the Samsung booth, they are demonstrating real time 2D to 3D conversion.  On one side, they’re showing a Hollywood movie in 3D on a Plasma as a frame of reference for professionally rendered 3D content.  Next to it, they’re showing a NASCAR racing game on XBox in 3D.

The tricky part is that the game’s signal to the TV is 2D – there’s an image processor in the TV that is taking the 2D signal and converting it to 3D for the TV.  It was pretty compelling on the one game they showed.

Just experimental for now, no concrete plans to bring it to market.
