You need a TV which can do at least 100 Hz. That's because the glasses (no, they're not the red/green ones) only let each eye see half of the frames. So on 60 Hz TVs each eye would see at 30 Hz which is way too low.

Which would effectively make it a 15FPS game unless they are doing something different to the usual.

Well I'm planning to buy a 120Hz TV this holiday season, hope it works...

Stereoscopic 3D relies on faster refresh rates and demands that the console produces individual images for each eye. Namco-Bandai made a 3D version of Ridge Racer 7 for the arcades in Japan, but its 1080p output is divided between each eye, turning a 60FPS game into an effective 30FPS experience. No such complaints about the WipEout HD or GT5 demos at CES, and indeed, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift is also demoed. If that was running at an effective 15FPS, down from the game's standard 30FPS, the experience would be ruined. The inclusion of MotorStorm is evidence enough that Sony has got something special cooking. The first, obvious conclusion was that, similar to Polyphony Digital's 4K and 240FPS tech demos, networked PS3s were being used to create the discrete images for each eye.

Fast forward to CEDEC 2009, and the WipEout HD demo is back along with claims (quickly denied by Sony) that the technology can be enabled with a firmware update, and that all PS3 games can benefit. Not only that, but check out the picture in the Engadget link there - that's a single PS3 Slim in operation with a normal HDMI link. The 3D glasses are confirmed to be using shutter technology similar to the current NVIDIA 3D vision specs. And now, further news emerges, saying that the processing technology is located within the Bravia 3DTV, but Sony may plan on porting it over to the PS3 itself so that it'll work on any 3DTV, not just the firm's own displays.

Seems Sony have it working quite well, an interesting read by Digital Foundry as always

Rainbird isn't Wipeout HD a 60 fps game? And the demos with the other games may have used tricks like two PS3s, as your article says.

This is awesome. 3D is the best thing that happened to gaming in recent years.

You know what sucks about it? It's hard to find a place where we can try it out without buying the expensive Nvidia kit...

I promise if I get it I'll invite you to try it :P you still live in Uppsala right?

3d is so like 20 years ago!

I don't think it will work, not according to this article at least:

Actually, it's so 19th century, 20th and 21th century is all about 4D, string theory, M-Theory, loop quantum gravity, etc. XD XD XD

OT: It will be nice to see 3D from the PS3 without having to buy a TV.
