Vision 3D: Nvidia releases 3D streaming technology


Regarding the increasing presence of 3D content in different media and devices, Nvidia does not walk with tiny punches or excessive, and at a conference held at NAB 2011, the company announced that it has decided to release its technology 3D video playback for free. This is just the limitations on the dissemination of three-dimensional content via streaming web sites for computers with Nvidia compatible devices.

The 3D playback technology has surprises almost every day, where for one reason or another jump boards indicating different applications, experiments and devices that are charged to shoulder the use of graphs in three dimensions, with the weight of software and hardware needed that it implies and spending to make access to them. Nvidia keeps close on this evolution in playing content, and since the early days when they talked about their technology to support stereoscopic 3D graphics today there have been developments both inside and outside the company and its products, and demonstration of its commitment to these changes is that it has released a few hours ago a technology platform to bring playback via streaming 3D content using just a plug in for Microsoft Media Player Platform Framework.

3D Vision aims to put in the hands of developers to combine treatments fine stereo playback with support for 3D glasses and the sharp escalation of streaming content on the web. It is proposed that this permissiveness that the diffusion and release provided by this technology for better tools and expand the possibilities of creating web application developers as well as the sale of devices that support playback. In presenting the same at NAB 2011, the heads of Microsoft agreed to this projection when said that "Microsoft is delighted to work with Nvidia to offer interesting features and capabilities in order to help developers build the new Age of websites powered by Microsoft Media Platform "Of course, such optimism must be tested both in the real usefulness of the technology for web developers and the always ambiguous acceptance.

Is this a decade that all PC users use sunglasses?

The new ability to embed 3D content in the code of web sites and via streaming play encourages a new marketing model that remains to be seen how it operates, especially the sides that create or use Silverlight and conflicts may be with the playback of protected content (although it provided support to address especially those with DRM). But as the images can be viewed on the Nvidia site tests and practical guidelines for implementation that are coming from now, 3D Vision unstoppable seems to be heading to position itself as an undisputed standard. For now have to wait and see what developers come across in the coming weeks.
