3D Stereo technology
Last modified: Thursday, January 08, 2009 

A technology that provides a more realistic view of 3D game visuals providing a more real 3D scene that allows you to better interact with the on-screen media. 3D Stereo technology on the PC requires both a software driver and a hardware device, such as stereo glasses, virtual reality hardware, or 3D displays.  NVIDIA also incorporates 3D Stereo technology in some new GeForce GPUs which enable you to interact with realistic smoke, rain, explosions, and lighting at incredible frame rates when playing PC games.

3D Stereo Technology: Is it Ready for Prime Time?
On the computer, we look at a 2D flat screen that, by its very nature, displays only an equally flat rendering of a scene. The effect is that of being a spectator, like looking at a photograph. You get the impression of what it would be like, but you're not really there.

NVIDIA GeForce 3D Stereo
Now with support for Microsoft Windows Vista and the latest GeForce 8 series GPUs, you can play the hottest games and feel like you're part of the action rather than watching it happen.
