The Sony conference annoucne 3D blurays are coming and ps3 will be able to play them. 3D video works by showing the same video twice, slighly skewed on top of each other. In order not to see blinking and for you not to get a severe eyestrain and a headache, this video needs to be shown at: - 1 stream of 120 hz refresh rate - 60 hz refresh rate x 2 streams Then, using glasses which shutter 60 times per second and sync with the data stream, the user sees depth creating the cool 3D experience. We all know 120 hz TVs are coming, and not the fake ones that are out now...but real 120 hz TVs that can take the 120 hz input and produce output...so there is nothing crazy about that. However PS3 can not output 120 hz in 1 stream. HDMI 1.3 does not have the ability to do this. Therefore PS3 needs to do the 1080p video stream @ 60 HZ X 2! I am not doubting the power of the PS3 but my computer that is much more powerful than current gen consoles can not do this. So we are all curious how this will work. 2 ps3s at the same time? Interlacing 1080p signal? 3d gaming on ps3 is another mistery which boggles the mind... cause PS3/360 cant run most games at 1080p X 1...let alone X 2...lol |
Hahaha you beat me to it! But Ill add a few things :)
-Need HDMI 1.4 to support 120hz 1080p signal output (which cannot be upgraded via firmware)
-The Blueray group promising 1080p @60hz per eye.
Your computer probably can do this. I just hooked up another monitor to my other video output and ran a blueray at 1080p on both screens (using nvidia dual view). each at 1080p @ 60hz :)
Awesome conference. This just makes me want to buy Nvision even more. And 3D pictures? That is hot. With all these new pushes into 3D by just about everyone who makes tech, I have a feeling this might take off more than any of us are willing to admit (I am sure as hell excited by all of this. Tho I want LASERS even more)
