Sony has just taken patent on 2 ideas, which is basicly the same.

Basicly it's like this. When you watch something in Stereoscopic 3D, you're wearing polarized 3D glass. The screen sends out A and B pictures, where the A pictures go to your left eye, and B pictures go to your right eye. Each of these pictures are a little different in terms of angle on the picture, which makes it seem like 3D.

Now, Sony has invented an idea. Imagine sitting in the couch with a buddy, wanting to play a multiplayer game. Normally you would go split-screen, but this isn't necesarry anymore when this is out. You will both be wearing Polarized or Shutter 3D glasses. The screen sends out A and B pictures, but also Y and X pictures, where A and B will be from player 1's perspective, and the Y and X will be for player 2's perspective. The idea is that it sends them out at the same time, like: AYBXAYBXAYBX. So two people can look at one screen, but see two different things!
You can do it up to 3 or 4 people. 2 could play a videogame, while the last one is watching a movie, no limits!
All glasses come with ear-plugs, so they can enjoy their "own" sound.

It's awesome. Can't wait.

Nothing new.

Was tried on arcade machines in the 80's. Didn't go down well.

Thankfully tech has moved on quite a bit since then, could be good but won't be cheap my any means.

Did they even have stereoscopic 3D back then? If not, I don't see how this was remotely possible to do in a barable manner. :)
