By 2 LEDs I guess they mean 2 LED displays. If not, you need a 3DTV. In any case, that is an awesome tech, but way too expensive for the video game segment. |
Dude.
2 LEDs on a pair of glasses.
And even then the video shows they've found a way to do it with just head tracking.

Dude, 3D glasses for 3D tv are 2 LEDs (LED panel) that shuffle from open (transparent) to shut (black) in order to alternate the image each eyes is getting. It doesnt work without the main display being able to process 2 different image at at least 30 Hertz each (60 hertz each if you doesnt want crosstalk) or in other word a 3DTV. Now, if they are talking about a HMD (head mounted display) it would work without a 3DTV, but it would in fact be too expensive for the video game segment. On a side note, It would already be possible to program a game on PS3 to do this, as long as you have a 3DTV and a set of LED 3D glasses. Would be possible on 360 too. Very small market to justify this implementation though.

No you don't need a 3D TV or an LED display as it's merely working by changing the perspective of the image by using head tracking. Think parallax mapping in regard to your actual head rather then the virtual ingame camera. It is really, really simple stuff; there is no reason it couldn't be done on a black and white CRT.

"using nothing more than the PS Eye and a custom built pair of glasses with 2 LEDs to create an illusion that your screen was 3D." what does the pair of LEDs glasses have to do with just changing the perspective of the image on the screen?

Light Emitting Diode.... LED. It means a light. They only work with current flowing through them one way. It's not a TV. It calculates the distance from the 2 lights using something similar to pythagoras theorem with the 2 lights.
