Sony's Solution To Split-Screen Multiplayer 157
We discussed Sony's E3 announcement of the pricing and details of the Vita portable console (hands-on report), but they also made a stronger push into the 3D space, revealing a 24" display specifically designed for 3D gaming. Most notable about this display is that two players wearing 3D glasses can use it to view separate images on screen. This means that when playing with a friend, you need not sacrifice 50% of screen real estate to accommodate the other player. The Guardian has a good run-down of Sony's other E3 announcements.

Definite case of "YMMV" there, bud.

Check this out, you can do it yourself:
"Full screen-split screen with any game."

They're using cheap glasses from going to movies with one person having two left lenses and the other two right lenses.
Smearing (Score:2, Interesting)
I assume other large TVs also suffer from smearing.
With this new 'solution' I imagine seeing a ghost image of the other player's screen, or am I way off the mark?
