During CES, Ars was shown a "great" 3D display at Sony's massive booth. While the Sony representative wouldn't tell ars how the effect was achieved, a well-placed source just passed ars some information about what technology the screens used to show those PS3 games in three dimensions, and then explained why it will never see the light of day. What will we see in the future? Standardized, full-resolution 3D displays.
"The LCDs Sony is using use a technique called 'Micropolarization' (often abbreviated as Xpol)," Ars was told. "Put simply, the display is layered with a polarizing filter that actually polarizes every other horizontal line of the display to 'spin' the light in a different direction. The glasses you're wearing (provided by RealD) only accept light spinning in one direction to the eye it is covering. That's how each eye gets a different angle and, ultimately, how your brain interprets 3D."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
DOOOOOMED
XD
for the sake of my bubbles, im just kidding.. christ. u guys are like pitbulls sometimes.
Do we really need 3D in our homes right now? I get enough of a headache grinding on Fallout for 8 hours, don't know if I need VATS in my eye.
Granted, hollywood somehow miraculously decided to back a format that most theaters and all homes are not equipped for, but people in general are just now beginning to switch over to HD screens, do we really need to outdate them any time soon?
Sony shows off 3D, now days after we get an article that says "something else better" is coming without saying what it is exactly to steal Sony's thunder.
If Sony can pull it off with current versions of HDTVs, versus some 5-10 ten years down the line tech that does it itself at 2-3 times the current costs while needing another infrastructure overhaul, which do you think people are going to get. If they get it at all?
At least Sony's offering a taste of what the tech could be. Which is what it or a later advanced version would need to establish itself.
4D baby!!!
It is coming!!!
Of course it is! Everything Sony does is outdated or a copy or a fraud or an in justice to the American gamer or killed Caylee and on and on and on...
