This article focuses on 3D gaming, which was a huge hit at 2010 CES, and looks at whether or not it has the power to change the video games industry - at least in 2010.

Since the beginning of cinematography, creators have constantly attempted to break the perceived fourth-wall in order to bring their audience into the universe they have set out to create. Derived from stereoscopic photography, 3D film, television and computer graphics essentially show the viewer two separate perspectives of the same image in order to create the illusion that the object in fact inhabits the same real-space as the viewer. James Cameron’s Avatar has received much acclaim for utilizing this process in illustrating the gorgeous homeworld of the alien Na’vi and 3D viewings of the film are still selling out, propelling the film towards being the top grossing film of all time. I seriously doubt that 3D gaming will change the industry anytime in 2010, maybe it'll be different in 2011.

    3d gaming is coming for sure. But it'll still be a few years yet. I don't think the glasses-3d tech will really catch on for PC gaming, but once we get cheaper non-glasses 3d monitors going, then it'll take off.

      I agree. 3D anything won't really catch on until they come up with a decent way of projecting 3D without the glasses.

    I for one don't want it. It's the big thing in the media now, they're making a shitload of films with it and football (soccer) had it's first game in 3D last week some time I believe. It's really annoying, I'd rather it be kept to cinemas and in a less common manner. God I hate Avatar and James Cameron.

    No it won't change anything but it is still pretty cool. I'm not chomping at the bit but I will welcome it when 3d enabled tvs come into the more affordable price ranges.

    I really hope they dont get too mainstream with 3D gaming. There are some gametypes that are meant to be played on a regular TV.
