R&D for 3D gaming viewers underscores performance, visual appeal

categories: Gaming

The latest 3D gaming glasses have better fit, longer playing time and a trendier look.

Aiming to boost their selections, China suppliers of 3D gaming viewers are improving usability, features and aesthetics.

To heighten fit and comfort, new designs are made lighter, weighing 21g compared with the average 35 to 45g. Smaller styles are available for younger children as well.

Companies are also enhancing the play experience by extending the battery life up to 160 hours. Moreover, the field refresh rate is now 480Hz from 120. This upgrade helps improve response speed and image brightness.

Further, makers are creating 3D glasses that boast synchronized RF signal transmitters to allow multiple-player interaction. Currently, most 3D viewers use a one-to-one IR system.

In terms of aesthetics, suppliers are choosing brighter colored frames instead of the conventional black. Fashion trends are also adopted, with some emulating sunglasses.

China’s output of 3D gaming viewers, however, remains marginal, contributing only 5 to 8 percent to the stereoscopy industry. One reason for this is the higher demand for home TV 3D glasses. Considering more consumers own these monitors rather than PC and video games, makers allot a larger investment to the development of the first.

Further, additional specialized equipment such as 120Hz LCD screens are needed to observe advanced gaming images properly. It may therefore take some time before the majority of users upgrade to this technology.

Compounding the situation is patent challenges. Because most makers yield only glasses, the pairs need to be created compatible with parts such as signal transmitters and graphics cards from third-party providers. Before doing so, however, manufacturers must pay expensive licensing fees. US-based Nvidia holds a monopoly on 3D graphics cards and a significant share of the emitter supply.

Nevertheless, businesses remain optimistic that output will improve in coming years as demand is expected to climb.

Most 3D gaming viewers are light-speed LCD shutter models. Using alternate-frame sequencing, IR, RF or even Bluetooth signals trigger the darkening of one lens, and the refreshing of the other in time with the monitor’s renew rate. This alters the perspective of each eye and creates the illusion of a stereoscopic image. The glasses are mainly powered by rechargeable Li-ion batteries and have a 1,000:1 contrast ratio. They come in a wired or wireless configuration.

Low-end models utilize local or Taiwan-sourced LCD shutters. MCUs are procured from the latter. The field refresh rate is 120Hz and the playing time is 50 to 100hr. Synchronized IR signals are common. These are $28 to $35.

Upscale models employ LCD shutters from Taiwan and South Korea. The refresh speed is 120 to 480Hz, and IR or RF is utilized. Midrange designs are $36 to $50. High-end pairs are above $50 and include emitters.

Playstation 3 Vs Xbox 360 Analyzing The Two Best Gaming Consoles

categories: Gaming

There have been lots of confusions whether Sony playstation 3 is better than Microsoft Xbox 360 or the other way round. Both consoles boast good indy support with games like Braid on XBLA and PixelJunk games on PSN. Both are available with big titles like Street Fighter HD and Mega Man. So, what are the differences between the two consoles?

CPU:

The CPU of Xbox 360 has vector processing power and a dot product instruction. The console also has three general purpose CPU cores and each core has 128 vector registers per hardware thread with a shared 1 MB L2 cache and a dot product instruction. The CPU of Sony Playstation 3 allows an environment where 87.5% work is DSP calculation and 12.5% work is general purpose computing.

GPU:

The GPU of Xbox 360 is more powerful than that of Sony playstation 3. The Xbox 360 GPU has larger number of transistors and the total programmable GFLOPs number is almost equal. In order to add additional floating point options for graphics rendering the PS3 has extra seven DSPs on the Cell. On the other hand the three general purpose cores of Xbox 360 with dot products instructions and custom D3D are tailored for true graphics related calculations.

Multithreading and balanced designs are other features of the Xbox360`s GPU. the automatic shader load balancing, full rate texture fetching in the vertex shader, programmable triangle tesselator, memory export features, programmable vertex fetching are the other features of the Xbox 360 that contribute to the rendering performance of the gadget.

Bandwidth:

For a total system bandwidth of 48 GB/s, the Playstation 3 has 25.6 GB/s of RDRAM bandwidth and 22.4 GB/s of GDDR3 bandwidth. On the other hand, for a 278.4 GB/s total system bandwidth the Xbox 360 has a 256 GB/s of EDRAM bandwidth and 22.4 GB/s of GDDR3 bandwidth. PS3 try to compensate the lack of memory by using Z and color compression.

In case of backwards compatibility Xbox 360 excels PS3. The PS3 does not support any PS2 library as it does not have PS2 functionality. Alternatively, you can buy a used 20GB or 60GB if you want a backwards compatible PS2. This can be considered as one of the drawbacks of PS3. However, Microsoft has allowed backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 and the online library if the console is adding original XBOX games regularly.

Playstation3 is the only gaming console that allows the user to install Linux, it does not allow to play games while operating in Linux though. Microsoft is planning to upgrade Xbox 360 and working on a version of Linux that can be installed on the console.
