| disolitude said: I see huge potential in this for 3D gaming. I really don't know the exact details how it works, but I assume its just a video stream which your computer is downloading while you are playing over the net on the fly. If they partner up with Nvidia or IZ3D and use their drivers and are able to send side by side video signal of the gameplay @ 1080p (720p per frame/eye) which 3D video player on your machine plays in stereoscopic 3D...jackpot! That would really be worthwhile financially and hassle wise as you need big bucks to game in 3D and you got to fiddle with settings for every game.

considering they have to heavily compress the 720p video at 30fps currently, the 60fps needed for 3D effect (30fps per eye) and there is no current Internet connection that can deliver that 100% of the time, which is needed because dropped frames in 3D can be a serious problem (more headaches etc) so no I don't think OnLive will support 3D in the next 5 years sorry.
