NVIDIA is now planning to release new 3D PCs after the company received backing and technical support from key IT firms within the industry.
The new 3D PCs are similar to notebooks yet offer display screens that can be used to play 3D movies or to have a 3D web-based conference.
The push for 3D PCs perhaps comes after large scale use of 3D technology in the recent blockbusters Avatar, Alice in Wonderland and UP.
NVIDIA has developed the new product in conjunction with Alienware, Dell, Microsoft, Toshiba and Asus.
Jerry Shen, CEO of ASUS, said, “ASUS has a strong track record of pioneering new categories of PCs, as we did with the netbook. Now ASUS is very bullish on developing the 3D PC category by shipping notebooks, desktops and an all-in-one PC equipped with NVIDIA 3D Vision.”
The company also wants to make the most of 3D sports coverage, such as the recent Masters Golf tournament, as well being in a good position to accommodate new 3D digital video cameras from Sony and Fujifilm.
Although the new PC is specifically designed for entertainment purposes, the technology could also provide businesses with a new way to hold virtual conferences. As a result, the new technology could be extremely beneficial to companies with several offices or clients in various locations.
Discussing this new technology Hidehito Murato, Chief Marketing Executive at Toshiba, said, “This is by far, one of the most captivating technologies ever introduced on the PC and has uses for practically every type of digital entertainment. The era of 3D is upon us!"
