Enough years have passed since the introduction of the technology that allows us to see 3D images on a screen. In one way or another, we know this technology is present in our world, but it has not had the impact on the society and exploitation that would have been expected to occur after its commercial launch. But that situation could change very soon since Sony has announced that all the games compatible with PS3 will have a new 3D mode.
Sony is trying a new strategy to attract new users. For that reason, the company is currently working to add 3D support for all of its available games for PS3. The transition should be taking place in 2010, according to Sony’s announcement. So, if Microsoft is pushing hard to reach its ambitious goals related to the Xbox 360, now Sony wants to change the users’ experience in a radical way (at least with the PS3 games).
We don’t know the exact specifications of the first version of this 3D mode, but some preliminary reports have confirmed that it consists of a process where the console sends 3D content by using an HDMI cable. That content is synchronized and the users will be able to see the 3D effects by using 3D glasses. So, we can get an easy deduction from this basic explanation: As usual, it will be necessary to use the traditional 3D glasses and, besides that, we will need a new TV that supports 3D (in case you don’t have one).
For now, the only thing we can do is wait for some reviews of this innovative technology, which hopefully will improve the way in which we enjoy our consoles. Maybe this will be the most important change in the video games industry during the following years. We’ll see. Apparently, 2010 will be the year of the 3D games.
