Two Players, One Screen - Dual-View TVs Will End Split Screen Gaming?

Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), 4 days ago

If this can be accomplished with any 3D display it could be the new way to play multiplayer games with your best pal and still have a fantastic game experience. How many two player Mario Kart sessions would have been so much better if only you could both have seen your image on the full screen?

The fact of the matter is that, even with the 3D glasses, in my eyes, it’s a better experience. Plus, with your best pal right next to you in co-op or 2-players FPS action, there’s ample opportunity for smack talking after you Sony dual view TV imagesnipe them in the head. How can you go wrong there?

Sports games could definitely benefit from this as well since each player could have a different camera view and things like baseball could have different information sent to each player. It could really help in pitch selection, goal tending, etc. Nintendo is sort of doing this with the Wii U but in a totally different, second display, way. That too is cool, but this could work with equipment many of us have already. Personally, I think it would be great to use the projector which is throwing an 8-foot diagonal image, for two players, each of which has a full screen image. Since the Optoma GameTime 750 can do 3D it might even be able to do this one day.

Well, maybe not. That’s an active 3D system. What that could require would be a pairing of 3D glasses with each player whereas the 3D passive system is far, far easier to implement. But if it’s being done with passive 3D, it can’t be long until it happens with active. Perhaps the next generation of consoles will have it built right in where you pair a set of glasses with a controller and then play two-player with full screen images.

This isn’t only a console gaming trend, it could work extremely well for PC gaming as well. Many PCs are capable of putting out 3D, generally with active glasses systems. It wouldn’t be that hard to do, I think, since each set of glasses is generally recognized by the emitter and you could attach a couple controllers or even a couple keyboards and mice through a single base unit that could allow for full screen gaming between two players.
