Epic Games, games and cross-platform game engine technology developer, and Nvidia, a visual computing technology provider, today announced the addition of Nvidia 3D Vision technology to support Unreal Engine 3. This proclamation implies that licensees of Unreal Engine will be able to take full advantage of integrated 3D Vision technology support and offer an unprecedented level of immersion in their upcoming games.
Epic s Unreal Development Kit (UDK), a free version of Unreal Engine 3, will also benefit from the addition of 3D Vision support, bringing a theater-quality 3D development platform to the more than 200,000 current users worldwide. Tony Tamasi, VP- Content & Technology, Nvidia said, “It will be now easier than ever to add state-of-the-art stereoscopic 3D effects to Unreal Engine 3-based creations.”
3D Vision supports PC gaming, photographs, videos, Blu-ray 3D, and 3D Web browsing. Further, this technology consists of wireless, active-shutter glasses and wireless USB emitter and can work with compatible 120Hz desktop LCDs, 3D TVs and projectors.
Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games said, “The addition of 3D Vision support to our Unreal Engine 3 will dramatically enhance the gaming experience. We are very excited to see the future of gaming in 3D.”
