The system, designed for PC, uses a pair of glasses, a USB-based IR emitter and software to generate a 3D effect. Nvidia said 3D Vision works with Samsung and ViewSonic 120 Hz LCD monitors, Mitsubishi DLP HDTVs and the DepthQ HD 3D Projector by Lightspeed Design.
The product works with 3D gaming, 3D movies and 3D photography, Nvidia said, and has "out of the box" compatibility with over 300 games. The company added, "In addition, NVIDIA’s 'The Way It’s Meant to Be Played' program ensures that future games will support 3D Vision."
A "3D Vision Viewer" also allows users to take in-game screens and view them later in 3D stereo, "or import and view stereoscopic pictures and movies from a variety of different capture sources and online Web photo galleries."
The product is available beginning today from U.S. e-tailers.
