Nvidia 3D Vision is a technology developed by Nvidia,[1][2] a multinational corporation which specializes in the development of graphics processing units and chipset technologies for workstations, personal computers and mobile devices. This technology allows games, movies and pictures to be displayed in stereoscopic3D.[3][4][5]
Did you know that the most recent Battlefield 3 patch introduced stereoscopic 3D. DICE’s guide to activating stereoscopic 3D in Battlefield 3. Battlefield 3 implements stereoscopic 3D.
To play the following in 3D, as well as convert over 650 existing games,[6] requires Nvidia 3D Vision Glasses with a 120 Hz monitor, or red and cyan glasses with slower monitors, Windows Vista or later, enough system memory (2GB recommended), a compatible CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon X2 or higher) and a compatible Nvidia video card (some GeForce 200 series ones or later).[7] Since releasing the technology in 2009, by the end of 2013 only about 40 games[8] appeared certified as '3D Vision Ready', while other have noticeable defects in the 3D image.
