Samsung Teams Up for Innovative 3D Gaming

Samsung has embarked on an exciting initiative alongside Nexon and Neople to revolutionize 3D gaming without needing glasses. The companies aim to create an immersive experience for their upcoming game The First Berserker: Khazan by leveraging Samsung’s advanced eye-tracking gaming monitor.

Traditionally, the concept of glasses-free 3D has been fraught with challenges. However, this collaboration seeks to address those hurdles by fine-tuning the focal distance for 3D effects tailored to specific scenarios, thereby minimizing crosstalk and enhancing visual clarity during intense gaming moments.

The technology behind the Samsung Odyssey 3D monitor, unveiled at CES 2024, features a front-mounted lenticular lens coupled with stereo cameras, promising to provide a groundbreaking gaming experience. While this new monitor can transform 2D content into 3D, the current limitation restricts this feature to full-screen videos in web browsers, with aspirations for custom content in the future.

With this partnership, Samsung not only hopes to make glasses-free 3D gaming a reality but also to shine a light on the potential of 3D technology in mainstream gaming. As the industry awaits the full potential of this collaboration, gamers are left eager for the upcoming release of The First Berserker: Khazan.
