NVIDIA and Leading PC Manufacturers Let You Enjoy 3D Games, Photos, Videos and Movies in the Comfort of Your Home

TAIPEI, TAIWAN--(Marketwire - May 31, 2010) - COMPUTEX 2010 -- 3D is hot. With recent movie box office bonanzas such as Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, and Clash of the Titans, it's clear that consumers are embracing the new immersive experience that 3D movies have to offer. With the proliferation of 3D content, ranging from videos, to photos, to interactive gaming, consumers are left with the tricky proposition of how to bring that 3D experience home. There may be some who are interested in the experience that a 3D television might bring, but another more intriguing and ultimately more flexible solution, is a new category of PC called the "3D PC," which is being debuted at Computex this week by NVIDIA and an ecosystem of 3D partners, including Alienware, ASUS, Dell, Microsoft, Toshiba and others.

• Includes a pair of 3D active-shutter glasses (like the 3D Vision kit from NVIDIA), the only solution to provide full resolution 3D to each eye.
• A 120Hz 3D-capable display in the form of a desktop LCD monitor, a 3D projector, a 3D TV, or a notebook PC with an integrated 3D-capable LCD.
• A discrete graphics processor (like a GeForce® GPU from NVIDIA) that is capable of delivering high definition imagery to the 3D display

So what does this mean for the consumer?
