PS3 3D Gaming NOT to require Special T.V.

What are these two different 3D techs called?

I mean one is like in the video in the OP, head tracking 3-D or something.
- this requires a huge increase in processing power.

And the other is with glasses where objects appear to pop out from the screen (like in some movie cinemas today, and the Nvidia 3-D glasses Desloitude has).
- this requires double the processing power

I want both techs immeditaly.

Head tracking doesn't require a huge amount of processing. If you're making the user wear infrared LEDs, it should take very little processing at all. You just interpret the position of the user's head and move the in-game camera appropriately to achieve the 3D illusion. Using a conventional camera, like the PS Eye, might take a little more processing power to interpret which part of the image represents the user's head, but I doubt it would take very much at all.

I agree with you. Somebody needs to get off their duff and take head tracking out of tech demos and onto the market.
