Wall-Sized 3D Displays: The Ultimate Gaming Room
Racing Games
There aren't a whole lot of racing games on the PC that I'm into, but there's one that stands out: the Need for Speed series.
Need for Speed Carbon
Carbon works very well in stereoscopic mode - even the interface is usable in 3D mode. There was one slight issue, though: we had to disable motion blur, because it caused the yellow lines on the road to appear to float. Other than that, no problems.
3D stereoscopic rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Real Time Strategy Games
I thought I'd try some RTS games to see if they'd be something people would want to play in 3D. I didn't think it would work that well, but was pleasantly surprised.
Star Wars : Empire at War
This game worked better than I thought it would. Although the interface was quite usable in stereoscopic mode, it was a bit distracting. Still very playable, though, and the cinematic views of the battles were super cool.

Company of Heroes worked so well that it was like the game was made for 3D stereoscopic vision. I was blown away - even the interface was flawless. No visual artifacts of any kind.

myrsati I bought the Acer P1303W its awsome for the price. You do have to go through a computer to get the 3D to work. I have a AMD FX 6 core proccesor and ATI 6770HD card that supports 3D. I then bought a Blu Ray 3d Internal Burner from LG for 77 bucks which is really nice. I got the Expand x102 Active glasses they are price well and look great. I thought i was screwed when the 3d didnt work when i put a blu ray 3d movie in and played it thru my Projector. My resolution was correct and at 120hz. I found out after messing around for about an hour that the software that came with my Blue Ray 3d player didnt work with my projector which is POWER DVD 9. I found a program called TotalMedia Theatre 5! As soon as i installed it and played the blu ray 3d movie and turned the glasses on everything worked!!! I had to adjust a few settings but nothing major. Dont forget not all projectors have to go thru a computer to work but you will prob pay more for them.Reply
