"3D visual technology has come a long way from the days of the red and blue anaglyph 3D effect that tricked your eyes into the illusion of depth through the use of color. 2D technology is the current norm and presents users a flat graphics experience that is great for word processing applications, but not for an immersive graphical experience such as gaming," stated Tom Striegler, CEO of iZ3D Inc.
"The easiest way to explain the visual difference an iZ3D monitor provides is to play a game on a 2D monitor where you experience only a two dimensional game. On an iZ3D monitor, the graphics that were originally created in a 3D modeling program come to life, you duck items flying at you and experience movement such as flying or falling," commented David Chechelashvili, iZ3D VP, marketing.
iZ3D brand monitors are affordable, top of the line, S-3D monitors that the entire family can use to enhance their visual experience and enjoyment. When users are not immersing themselves into a game realm or a 3D movie, the monitors can be easily switched between 2D and 3D with the push of a button for everyday uses such as cruising the Internet or word-processing applications.
iZ3D's approach to 3D puts the technology in the display, not in the glasses. This provides affordable entertainment for multiple players. In addition to the display, iZ3D also develops its own 3D passive polarized glasses, plus 3D software drivers and media players. iZ3D bundles a complete 3D display solution, which includes:
-- 22-inch wide screen 3D/2D keyboard switchable LCD monitor
-- 3 pairs of passive polarized 3D glasses (5 other models are available
online)
-- iZ3D Stereoscopic 3D and Anaglyph 3D software drivers (other drivers
are available online)
-- Power and video cables
-- Quick-start guide
-- Free membership into iZ3D's upcoming 3D Owner's Lounge
The specifications for the centerpiece of the iZ3D solution, the 3D monitor, are:
-- 22-inch wide screen stacked dual-panel LCD display
-- 1680 x 1050 resolution
-- Up to 170-degree 3D viewing angle
-- 5ms response time
-- 700:1 contrast ratio
-- 16.7-million colors
-- 300 nits
-- Dual Inputs
The iZ3D solution is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Vista operating systems. Games written for DirectX 8, 9, (soon 10) require a graphics card with dual video outputs (VGA and DVI or HDMI). Most games written in the last six years are designed for 3D, but lacked a way of displaying them properly. Hundreds of games have been tested by iZ3D, MTBS-3D and iZ3D customer testers.
