It first impressed movie-obsessed audiences in the 1950s and then reappeared in the 1980s with Jaws 3D and, thanks to a host of new technologies, 3D is now making serious commercial inroads into the cinema world once again. As ever, where the film industry goes, videogames seem to follow. There are a number of stereoscopic 3D video games due to arrive – notably Disney Interactive’s G-Force, Namco’s Invincible Tiger and Ubisoft’s Avatar. Two of those three games are attached to films (the latter is the game of James Cameron’s forthcoming 3D movie). There’s good reason to expect more and more stereoscopic games to be released from now on so this is just the beginning. It may only be possible for TV to be shown in 3D with the help of the now infamous red and blue glasses but there is a lot more impressive technology on the way. One such technology is active 3D. This is where you have glasses with LCD panels which flicker in synchronisation with a TV that displays left and right images. For that to work though, you’ll need a TV that can refresh itself at 120Hz, as well as the glasses, which are surprisingly expensive. There’s another, potentially better technology, which is passive, rather than active, and sometimes called horizontal interlaced. This uses screens which emit polarised light, where every other pixel is polarised to provide a different image for each eye. The good thing about this is that the glasses are cheap, and don’t have to be synchronised with the TV. However; the downside is that the TV will set you back by roughly twice as much as an average TV would and this is likely to continue unless a market exists for them.
As well as games consoles becoming more and more impressive, computer games are also becoming a lot more in-depth with the introduction of 3D gaming that looks set to dominate the gaming world from now on. Until then, if you’re looking for the latest video game releases then try online shopping and get the best deals around.
