AMD and iZ3D join forces to display what they are calling ‘The Ultimate Gateway to Immersive 3D Entertainment at next years Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2009).
iZ3D drivers feature ATI 3D DLP output (which free for ATI Radeon™ graphics card users). IZ3D’s recently released 3D monitor
driver (1.09) was the first to include support for AMD with an ATI 3D DLP output.
This special feature, integrated exclusively for AMD, provides a customized 3D DLP output.
Iz3D ships 3D gaming monitors, which include a stereoscopic driver output for the iZ3D monitor and a standard anaglyph driver output. Other specialized 3D driver outputs are available at www.iz3d.com for USD$49.99
PRESS RELEASE:
To encourage 3D game play using ATI Radeon graphics cards, iZ3D is
offering all ATI Radeon graphics card users a $50.00 rebate on the
purchase of an iZ3D monitor. After installing the iZ3D monitor and
driver, ATI Radeon graphics card users have 30 days to complete a
simple form online and submit it to iZ3D to get the rebate. The
rebate promotion is being promoted online and will be included in ATI
Radeon graphics card packages and in-store at select retailers. For
more information visit www.3drulez.com or www.iz3d.com.
“We appreciate the visual experience and excitement that is driving
the trend towards 3D graphics,” said Godfrey Cheng, director of
technical marketing, graphics products group, AMD. “3D gamers,
designers and home theater enthusiasts will appreciate the
sophistication that the ATI Radeon series of graphics cards will
bring to the world of 3D. Our cards enable a feature-rich, 3D gaming
and home theatre experience, especially when used in conjunction with
an iZ3D 22-inch widescreen 3D display solution.”
iZ3D’s 3D stereoscopic monitors, glasses, and software drivers
deliver significant advantages over other 3D display systems. Gamers
that want to experience spectacular game graphics will appreciate
playing in stereoscopic 3D. Graphic artists have already embraced the
iZ3D monitor as an essential tool for 3D design since it is difficult
to create 3D images while viewing the design in a flat 2D
environment. Movie buffs will be able to experience the immersive
thrill of watching a 3D movie at home what has been only available in
theaters.
“We’re on a mission to bring 3D into the mainstream. Combining the
blazing fast speeds and breathtaking graphics from a high-end ATI
Radeon graphics card with savings on your own personal iZ3D 22-inch
widescreen monitor and get a gateway to the world of 3D. AMD’s
selection of iZ3D’s stereoscopic 3D display solution demonstrates
their vision and understanding that the future of graphics is a
fusion of great hardware and software. iZ3D is a true pioneer in
developing great 3D imaging drivers and hardware for the gaming
community,” remarked Thomas Striegler, CEO of iZ3D Inc.
iZ3D developed this unique display technology to create an adjustable
3D environment without causing eyestrain, spatial disorientation, or
headaches. The monitor, which is optimized for 3D viewing, can also
be easily toggled into a 2D mode when required for productivity
applications or email. In 3D mode, viewers see bright, sharp 3D
images or video simply by wearing any of eight iZ3D passive polarized
glasses. Existing PCs equipped with an ATI Radeon graphics card or
most dual-output video cards easily powers the display.
Specifications include: 1680 x 1050 resolution; up to 170-degree 3D
viewing angle; 5ms response time; 700:1 contrast ratio; 16.7-million
colors; and 300 nits.
The iZ3D Version 1.09 S-3D driver is compatible with DirectX PC games
running on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows XP and Windows Vista operating
systems. Most PC games released in the last five years, including
many of the most popular multiplayer online, first person shooter,
and role-playing games, have already been designed for 3D displays.
iZ3D’s optimized driver unlocks the third (depth) dimension of these
3D-ready games to allow gamers to finally play them as they were
written – in 3D.
