An Australian company claims that it can offer a 3D gaming experience to
players.
The Vortex Home Entertainment system is also said to be able to convert
two-dimensional films and television programmes into three-dimensional
experiences. The company behind it,
Fountain
Consulting, has modified high-end Nvidia graphics cards which, in their own
PC systems, can offer a full 3D environment.
Vortex is being demonstrated at the Melbourne eGames Expo, and the company
says that all
the products
on display will be on sale in 2007, with several configurations. A $150
(£80) add-on pack will be sold in future that will allow people to make existing
PCs 3D-compatible.
To get games in three dimensions, players need to don a pair of 3D glasses -
compatible sets are available from several manufacturers. Fountain has converted
several current games, including Star Wars Battlefront II and the latest version
of Quake.
