AMD: 3D Is Dead

Yeah, Occulus Rift is dead before it's even launched.

Who cares about that sort of lame stuff. Let's all buy expensive super high resolution monitors to sit at from 1 foot away instead!

Good call AMD.

Wild Speculation - If you want to get an Occulus Rift and use it with any sort of decent compatibility stay away from AMD GPUs, it seems they have zero interest in 3D/Stereoscopic display (And are actively seeking to kill it?) and as a result driver development in this area will be non-existent.

What the **** has Occulus Rift got to do with using a panel for 3D?

Matt Skyner is talking about 3D panels, nowhere does he mention VR.

Moronic post considering Nvidia is going the same route with 3D vision as its most likely getting dropped for near eye display instead...

VR and 3D are different entities add to the fact Nvidia are developing there own near eye light display, we'll have to wait and see how much they support a competitive product.

The only concern for me would be if AMD blocked Tridef from rendering 3D as AMD never directly supported 3D in the first place, it was either the software developer or Tridef, never AMD.

As far as AMD is concerned, 3D stereoscopic gaming is a thing of the past

The article is aimed at 3D Stereoscopic Gaming. Not 3D enabled panels.

Kudos to you for identifying that VR and 3D are separate things. Unfortunately for you however is the fact that the Occulus Rift is a VR solution that uses 3D Stereoscopy for depth and other 3D based immersion.

No Stereoscopic 3D Gaming = No Occulus Rift.

we at Fudzilla can guarantee you that after a few years 3D stereoscopic gaming will make a comeback, with hopes that the visual computing industry will get it right that time around.

No doubt the highlighted section is in direct reference to technologies such as the Occulus Rift.

He discussed that even in living room environments 3D TVs are one of the cool things to have, but they are also something that barely gets frequently used.3D stereoscopic tech has future in cinema and this is one of its uses, but again only in select movies which are worth producing and watching in 3D. This tends to give people a headache and some 20 percent of population cannot even see stereoscopic 3D which was one of the big problems for Nvidia’s 3D glasses.

That reads to me that matts specifically talking about 3D employed over panels, NOT VR headsets, where does matt mention OR/VR is a dead end?

Answer-he doesn't.

What the title implys and how it reads is journalism at its very best, its got you hook, line and sinker.

Either that or nice try-but no cigar sin.
 
I've quite enjoyed 3d gaming crysis and tomb raider were both stunning, not particularly bothered about 4k. So i see it as a shame if they do want to see it's demise :(

If this were the case AMD would have been best placed to affirm their position to be panel based 3D gaming and NOT the statement which has been made which is 3D gaming period.

"Reads to me like" is the statement of an apologist and not someone who reads what has actually been stated.

Nice try AMD Apologist, but no cigar tommy.
 
This reminds me, I need to dust off my 2nd hand 3D vision glasses and sell them on to someone else looking for some short term novelty.
 
Stick him on ignore Tommy. Its the only way to avoid putting your fist through the monitor. :D

Clearly just 3d gaming ie nividia vision ect. While its not 'dead' did it ever take off for mainstream? 3D tv's have always been a bit of a miss, and the only reason they found their way into many homes was the fact it became standard on tv's. My plasma tv in the living room is 3d and I have not had any interest in sitting watching tv with glasses on and many (avforums) seem to feel the same way.

Until we see 3d glasses free it will always struggle.

Occulous rift is a screen in front of your eyes its not 3d.

Was 3D ever 'alive' and kicking in the first place?

I imagine adoption rates were something in the low %, maybe < 1% :p
 
I would hate to lose 3D but do have an interest in the Oculus Rift, so happt to lose it off my screen.

For the record, I loved 3D so much I bought another 2 120Hz panels to play in 3D surround.
 
I never understood the appeal of 3D, saw Avatar and latest star trek movie in 3D and wasn't impressed and as for gaming it seems like an expensive novelty that only a handful of devlopers ever took time to support properly.

I suppose one of the benefits of the whole 3D gaming thing is that it did help drive the sales of 120hz monitors which have thier own inheritant benefits other then being able to support 3D.

By the way, anyone know the likely pricing for the Oculus Rift? Is it affordable, or is it gonna cost as much as a 8-pack system? :p
 
They are saying $300, so not to bad at all. There si some weird contraptions you can buy like a moving floor and gloves....
