| GeForce LAN Day 1 – Locked And Loaded Posted: 14 Oct 2011 11:42 PM PDT It's only the first day of GeForce LAN 6 and we're already pushing full steam ahead aboard the USS Hornet in Alameda, Calif. From load-in and setup to our 32-vs-32 first-round Battlefield 3 tournament to prize giveaways, it's been a busy day.
Our dedicated events team spent most of the morning pulling off a logistical miracle – finish loading all the equipment needed for the event. Moving 600 attendees' personal gaming rigs, the NVIDIA Freeplay gaming rigs and all manner of exhibition and A/V gear onto the USS Hornet is no easy task, but NVIDIA staff and volunteers prevailed. The opening ceremonies officially kicked things off in Hangar 1. Phil Eisler, 3D Vision general manager, took to the keynote stage to unveil NVIDIA's 3DVision 2 technology. He introduced the new 3DVision 2 Wireless Glasses and showed how they can be used with the upcoming crop of 3DVision-capable displays to deliver a brighter 3D image. The revised 3DVision glasses feature larger lenses and a more headphone-friendly shape, offering a more immersive and comfortable 3D experience.
Next up was the first round of competition in the Battlefield 3 tournament, where battle-ready gamers duked it out in 32-vs-32 battle. When the dust settled, only half of the competitors would move on to the next round. Such is the inevitable end to tournament gaming. Of course, no GeForce LAN would be complete without prizes and contests. The first contest of the event came in the form of a riddle, posted to our @NVIDIAGeForce Twitter account. The answer to the riddle led one lucky attendee to the hidden GeForce GTX560 video card. As the gaming goes on into the early morning hours, some will retire to the USS Hornet's crew quarters to get that authentic warship experience. Others will find rest elsewhere. In the end, all roads lead back to GeForce LAN 6 – at least for the next few days.           | ||||
| Preview: NVIDIA 3DVision 2 – Twice As Bright, More Comfortable Glasses Posted: 14 Oct 2011 06:31 PM PDT We just announced NVIDIA 3DVision 2 at GeForce LAN 6, but the new displays and wireless glasses aren't quite yet available for public consumption. To hold you over, here's a quick preview of what you can expect from the next generation of hardware optimized for NVIDIA's 3DVision technology.
At first glance, you might not believe these soon-to-be-released 3DVision displays are all that different from the current crop of 3D panels. The new NVIDIA 3DVision 2 Wireless Glasses aren't radically different, either. It's not until you don the larger, more comfortable 3DVision 2 Wireless Glasses in front of a 3DVision 2 display that the new technology really shines (pardon the pun). The 3D picture is significantly brighter, compared to first-generation 3DVision hardware. Glance down at the keyboard, and you'll notice that the keys are easier to read. The just-announced NVIDIA 3DVision 2 Wireless Glasses also allow more light to reach your eyes and feature a more headphone-friendly design.
The new NVIDIA 3D LightBoost technology built into every 3DVision 2 display essentially boosts panel brightness to overcome the dimming effect of 3D glasses. LightBoost also allows the lenses on your pair of 3D glasses to stay open longer, resulting in brighter ambient lighting (making keyboard easier to read). In essence, 3DVision 2 hardware delivers a more immersive and comfortable gaming experience. Expect to see these new displays and glasses later this year.
