This new driver from Nvidia will enable any PC with an Nvidia graphics processor to run a game in normal mode, as well as in 3D, for which gamers will need to wear a pair of (cool) 3D glasses. With the software driver installed, gamers will be able to have a three-dimensional left eye- and right eye- view of the game, when looking through their 3D glasses.
Reportedly, game developers need not do anything for PC gamers to avail the 3D gaming facility. It's only the users who will need to own an Nvidia graphics card along with the in-the-making software driver.
The challenge for Nvidia is making the glasses widely available at retail, as well as turning the silly-looking lenses into something actually cool and 'not as geeky-looking,' said Drew Henry, general manager (Media Communications Processor Group) of Nvidia.
Some gamers believe that 4D gaming, as in virtual reality, would be the ultimate thing to achieve for gaming. However, widely available 3D gaming is probably the best thing that could happen to the gaming scene for now. Nvidia is still working on the retailing practices that it would incorporate for their new software driver, along with attempts to make the 3D glasses look snazzy.
