New 3D images: MadWorld

take a look to the Wii title MadWorld, which has been out for about a month now. The best aspect of converting screenshots of the game into 3D is that since the the visuals are already in black and white, the color doesn’t take a big hit during the transition.










Notes:

- Click the images to enlarge
- 3D glasses necessary to view in 3D (red/cyan recommended)
- Give your eyes a minute or two to adjust to the 3D – I promise, it works!
- Some images work better in 3D than others
- Tip: Try to divert your eyes back and forth briefly from the 3D image to something not 3D, such as your desktop wallpaper

Game 'Pirates of the Caribbean Online' in 3D


red/blue glasses are required

http://piratesonline.go.com/#/game_info/3d_glasses.html


What is 3D? How does it work?

3D simply means, “three dimensional.” Pirates Online uses a 3D system that separates game graphics into two colors, one red and one blue. When the game is viewed with 3D glasses, the two combine to make the action appear to pop out of the screen.
Just turn on the 3D option in the Graphics Settings by following these simple steps:




From the Pirate Selection Screen, click the Options button. If you’re already in game, use F7 or the "Esc" key to open the Game Menu. Select Game Options.
Click the Display tab. In the Display tab, click the box beside "3D Glasses." A check mark will appear in the box and you will get a confirmation pop-up window explaining the feature has been turned on.
Click OK to confirm these changes. Save your Settings and exit the Options Menu.
Turn the 3D option off while in game:
1. Press F7 or the "Esc" key to open the Game Menu. Select Game Options.
2. In the Display tab of the Game Options panel, click the box to "3D Glasses".
3. Save your changes and exit the Game Options menu to return to your game.

Do I need special 3D glasses? How do I get them?

Yes, you need 3D glasses to play. The game uses the same red/blue 3D glasses that you’ve seen or used for lots of popular movies, video games and commercials. If you already have 3D glasses with red & blue lenses you can use them to play Pirates Online in 3D.

When can I play in 3D?

You can play Pirates Online in 3D any time you want, but we do not recommend using the 3D option during Invasion or GM events. Since these events and 3D require a huge amount of your computer’s resources, running them at the same time will greatly slow down your game experience. Enjoy 3D all you want but remember to take a break from time to time to give your eyes a rest. Also, players on older computers may notice a slow down after turning on the 3D option. If that happens try this;

From the Pirate Selection Screen, click the Options button. If you’re already in game, use F7 or the "Esc" key to open the Game Menu. Select Game Options.
Click the Display tab to access the Display Menu. Below the Display Menu is a Graphics and Audio Menu, make sure you’ve selected the Graphics tab.
In the Graphics tab, make sure all your detail levels are set to “Low.”
Turn off Reflections. Make sure Aggressive Memory Conservation, Shader Level and Rendered Shadows DO NOT have a check in the box beside those options. Also make sure Compressed Textures IS checked.
Save your Settings and exit the Options Menu.
Now try playing the game in 3D to see if changing your Graphics Settings has improved the game’s performance.
Use the FULL SCREEN mode for the best performance.

2010 World Cup To Be Broadcast in 3D



look this poster with red/cyan glasses

That rights folks, time to get that 3D glasses out of the closet or to buy new one as FIFA & Sony have teamed up to offer 25 matches in next year’s World Cup in 3D.

FIFA is partnering with Sony to produce up to 25 matches in 3D, using Sony’s 3D camera and broadcast technology, which has been on a development fast track.

Pundits have long suggested that live sports could be a killer app for driving 3D to the home — as well as to theaters as alternative content — and FIFA’s plans to present the global event could be a pivotal factor.

Such sports leagues as the NBA and NFL have tested live 3D for select public events. The World Cup, which begins in June, will by far have the have the widest reach of any 3D sports competition to date.

The 3D coverage will include live public-viewing events in such cities as Berlin, London, Mexico City, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Rome and Sydney.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment also plans to produce and distribute an official 3D movie that will be made available on several formats, notably Blu-ray. The Blu-ray Disc Assn. is expected to complete its 3D standard this month.

Sony, which has made 3D a key part of its business strategy, offers a 3D digital cinema system for theater owners and plans to incorporate the format into many of its consumer products, including its Bravia LCD TVs, Blu-ray recorders and players and VAIO and PlayStation3 systems.

“The transition to 3D is under way, and we at Sony intend to be leaders in every aspect,” Sony Corp. chairman chief executive Howard Stringer said. “Our sponsorship of the World Cup allows us to leverage our cutting-edge 3D technology and premier products with dazzling content to produce a unique and totally compelling viewing experience.”
