Forums - Microsoft - apparently MS will show off 3d gaming on the 360 in a couple days

"We wil be showcasing 3D Games on XBOX 360 at TechED India 2010 in Bangalore next week. If you are attending, please do visit us :)"

 

The event is April 12-14. The 360 already can do 3d gaming (Avatar). I guess they want to make some money from the 3d craze.

 

edit:

From 2008


XNA's general manager, Chris Satchell, has revealed that Microsoft has experimented with 3D - or stereoscopic - games.

Speaking exclusively to good old GamesIndustry.biz, Satchell said the technology is "extremely interesting" and that Microsoft has experimented with it. However, there are concerns about whether the requirement to wear headgear will hamper its widespread acceptance.

"This is a very interesting area of graphics technology. We have done experiments with this at Microsoft and the results are extremely interesting. However, the current systems that work well require wearing active shutter glasses and I think it is hard to be mainstream with asking people to wear headgear to play games," he said.

"There is some very interesting technology being developed that can overcome this obstacle and it will be interesting to see where this leads. So, some way to go yet. I love that some developers are experimenting along this path. It is a great way to move industry technology forward."

 

 

Looks like they think it's generally accepted

I wonder how good their implementation will be. One of the reasons the PS3 is as capable as it is, is after all that it has HDMI 1.3, where the 360 only has 1.2



Ugh, pass.



 

I don't care. I just bought 2 new frickin' TV's! I'm not buying another one!



i think it will be standard red-green 3D

This.

3D is too soon after most people have only just spent plenty on a new TV.



Standart red green right?

I thought the 360 couldn't handle the PS3 3D...



NO Microsoft NO ...



tbh i don't really care about this huge 3d craze thats going on right now. Is it a cool concept? Sure but to be able to afford all the expensive TV's and everything to experience it, its just not worth it to me.
