Sony Developing 3D Screen-Sharing Technology For Two Players 174
Stoobalou writes "Sony has recently published patent applications which will allow two-player 3D gaming on a single screen. The new technology could spell an end to split-screen gaming, but is unlikely to see the light of day for a few years at least. Sony's method would allow player one to see frames one and three whilst player two would see frames two and four. Current technology requires a display with a 120 Hz refresh rate so it seems likely that we'll have to wait for 240Hz screen technology to become commonplace before two-player 3D becomes a reality. PDF versions of the two applications are available."

Screw that, i'll stick to my elaborate connection of SCART splitters, phono leads, 2 TVs and some black paper with some sticky Blu-tack.
Get off my lawn, Future.

600Hz Display. At last I'll be able to show movies to horses and they won't see the flicker.

I wonder how only American companies got all these patents. Were the Europeans sleeping while all these standards were created and patented?

But will they see the Flicka [wikipedia.org]? Oh wait, that was Fox, not Sony.
