A 3D Monitor (With Glasses)

Nov 04, 2005 4:27pm CST tags: Wack News
So apparently there was some wacky 3D computer monitor at BlizzCon, and I missed it. Assuming you've got an nVidia video card with two DVI connectors--apparently only nVidia cards have the requisite stereo drivers--you'll be able to use a Neurok Optics iz3D monitor that creates the impression of actual 3D graphics.
Inside the game adapter is a hardware neural network that processes depth queues such as differences in color, brightness, shadows and size of objects. Chechelashvili says, "It's more complicated than just saying what is in front and what is in back. The neural network performs many calculations and to make sure there is no delay, we had to build it into hardware."

The drawback? You'll need to wear a pair of included polarized glasses. The device goes on sale this December. A 17" version will run $1499, with 19" and 23" versions forthcoming.
