We've seen Microsoft introduce the New Xbox Experience, a major revamp of the user interface meant to make the Xbox 360 friendlier to casual gamers who need a more intuitive experience. We even saw Nintendo announce that it would introduce a video streaming service aimed to make the Wii a tool for people to communicate with each other. Sony on the other hand limited itself to launching the new Home online service, through which it wants to create a full-pledged social network for all the PlayStation 3 users.
But it seems that Home wasn't the only thing that Sony will introduce for its console, as Neil Schneider, the CEO of Meant To Be Seen, a company that specializes in certifying stereoscopic 3D technology, revealed that the Japanese company planned to bring a fully-stereoscopic 3D gaming and Blu-ray experience to the PlayStation 3.
Schneider said that Sony was cooperating with Blitz Games Studios, a company that develops stereoscopic 3D licenses and that it might implement this new technology in the following year. “The best part is console support will only need a bios upgrade to work. We are told that the ability to add this capability via bios may be unique to Sony PS3 versus the other console solutions.”
For those of you who don't know, stereoscopic 3D technology allows regular two dimensional media to display visible depth, and it is employed in a variety of movies, in order to offer viewers a more realistic experience.
Although this idea might seem a bit weird, it might be a feature that will certainly attract at least some people. But until we get an official statement from Sony about this subject, we won't need to search for those 3D glasses.
