At GDC Nvidia and Epic Games announced that Nvidia 3D Vision technology will be added to Unreal Engine 3. Beyond adding the 3D support to Unreal Engine 3, developers using the free Unreal Development Kit will also be able to harness the power of Nvidia’s technology. Having recently played Battlefield Bad Company 2 using the Nvidia tech I can’t wait to see some of the amazing future games that will be using this great partnership between these two companies. Here are some of the details on Unreal Engine 3 and Nvidia 3D Vision:
- Epic Games and NVIDIA have worked together to integrate “out of the box” support for NVIDIA® 3D Vision technology into Unreal Engine 3.
- Unreal Engine 3 is the engine that powers some of the most successful games in the marketplace including: Gears of War and Gears of War 2,Shadow Complex, BioShock 2, Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, Borderlands and Batman: Arkham Asylum.
- The updated version of Unreal Engine 3 and UDK will be available in the near future for all licensees allowing games developed with that revision (or later) to deliver “out of the box” support for 3D vision.
- 3D Vision is the world’s leading consumer 3D solution and supports PC gaming, photographs, videos, Blu-ray 3D, and 3D Web browsing.
- 3D Vision consists of wireless, active-shutter glasses and wireless USB emitter and can work with compatible 120Hz desktop LCDs, 3D TVs and projectors. A NVIDIA GeForce® 8800 GTX or higher GPU is also required.
