3-D Fragging Comes Of Age
I found this over at Gizmondo, I think I must have one LOL...
If you have ever tried 3-D glasses for more an hour or two then you will know that they can sometimes have the same effects as the morning after 10 pints of Guinness and a doner kebab.
That’s right, you too can be the proud owner of a sore eyes, an ice-pick in your forehead and an urge to up-chuck in the nearest receptacle. A new US company however has launched – yes, not announced, but launched – the first 3-D monitor for gamers. The 22in 22Ó widescreen 3D monitor from Neurok Optics looks like you regular LCD monitor, if a little thicker, and comes with some funky 3-D glasses to help turn 2-D gore into 3-D in-yer-face carnage. Thomas Striegler, CEO of Neurok Optics, says:
“More content is being produced in 3-D. All popular games and many new movies are now created in 3-D - most viewers are unable to see the game or movie as it is meant to be seen in 3-D. Now you can add a new dimension to your home video entertainment with our 3-D monitor, the must have gift for the upcoming holiday season.”
The company says the polarised glasses will not result in the usual 3-D hang-ups and the monitor can be used as a regular 2-D monitor at the push of a button. At £500, it’s not that exorbitant for the first big 3-D gaming monitor. If it really works, that is. More here.-Martin Lynch
