It seems a lot is happening on the battle front for consumer stereoscopy. A coalition between screen/projector manufacturers and nVidia is forming a coherent response to these challenging issues :

From Stereoscopy.com :

Forming the foundation for a new consumer 3D stereo ecosystem for gaming and home entertainment PCs, 3D Vision is a combination of high-tech wireless glasses, a high-power IR emitter and advanced software that automatically transforms hundreds of PC games into full stereoscopic 3D experiences. Designed to work with the new pure Samsung(R) and ViewSonic(R) 120 Hz LCD monitors, Mitsubishi(R) DLP(R) HDTVs, and the DepthQ HD 3D Projector by Lightspeed Design, Inc, 3D Vision unlocks crystal-clear, flicker-free 3D stereo imagery perfect for driving new experiences in 3D gaming, 3D movies, and 3D photography.

Still from Stereoscopy.com :

ViewSonic Launches 3D-Ready FuHzion Line :

$1500 for a stereo projector !! That’s really nice =)

If only nVidia would release offical drivers for Windows XP instead of supporting only Vista, it would be even better.

And if you have difficulty setting up all your new toys, here’s a really nice guide on MTBS by Mark S. Mikunas on “Setting Up a 3D Projection System With Classic NVIDIA Drivers“  (on XP it seems, with the not-so-old 162.50 drivers).

PS: Oops I forgot to tell you that maybe the PS3 is going 3D next year !!
