(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The president of a 3D certification and advocacy group has revealed that Sony fully intends to support 3D gaming and Blu-ray 3D on the PlayStation 3 in 2009.

It will need a BIOS upgrade to work, and it is speculated that 3D gaming may be unique to the PS3 out of all other gaming consoles.

To quote: According to Neil Schneider, President and CEO of Meant to be Seen (MTBS), Blitz Games Studios has confirmed that Sony "fully intends" to support stereoscopic 3D gaming and Blu-ray 3D on PS3 in 2009 with their Blitz Tech engine. MTBS is a stereoscopic 3D certification and advocacy group.

Andrew Oliver, CTO of Blitz Games Studios says, "3D gaming on console is coming and we license the tech."

"The best part is console support will only need a bios upgrade to work," Schneider writes. "We are told that the ability to add this capability via bios may be unique to Sony PS3 versus the other console solutions."

Stereoscopic 3D is the ability to display visible depth through two dimensional media. According to MTBS, stereoscopic 3D has proven to be successful in cinema with movies like Beowulf, U23D, and Hannah Montana, earning 2:1 and 3:1 revenue compared to traditional 2D theaters.

Attempts at making games "pop out" and look truly 3D is nothing new to gamers, but this technology has failed to reach mass popularity for gamers at home, mostly because the application has not proven to work well enough to care, it costs too much, or it makes us look dorky when using it. Will these concerns be addressed in the near future? Only time will tell. That reminds us, where did we put those glasses? More PlayStation 3 News...

yeah i read about this too. It would be pretty sweet to play games in 3d... and if any of you remember, last year sometime, sony patented a design for their "virtual reality gloves" so it'd be cool to see these two working together.
