    These will be the first new 3D glasses for PC since eDimensional's in '02. Starting this summer almost every game will be playable in 3D. This sounds really amazing and if it turns out good, I'm definitely buying a pair!

    There have been a few 3D glasses since '02, just none of them have been very successful. Some of them used built in LCDs for each eyeball though.

    Otherwise, cool. Now we just need to work on a 360 degree 3D environment. The real issue with interactive 3D is the fact that the interactivity works, at most, within 180 degrees of vision.

    Oh my, a return to the 3D goggles... I'm not sure how it will catch on this time, since it didn't before.

    NVIDIA said that they'll be out during the summer. The next generation of stereo glasses.

    3D in theaters has been amazing and it's catching on pretty quickly this time around. Anaglyph red/blue glasses completely sucked, but now we've got 3D screen that'll throw stuff at the audience without making them dizzy or give them headaches. Ever seen any films in RealD or IMAX3D?

    That looks pretty sweet. I'll have to get a pair if my GPU can support it.

    LOL @ Nirvana.
