According to Insight Media, the popularity of 3D gaming will explode in the next five years, alongside the expected growth of 3D-capable displays.
The report says 40 million 3D-capable devices will be installed by 2014, with a good number being consoles, including the PS3 which is firmware-upgradable to 3D.
"We have spent considerable time on our forecasting methodology and believe we have created something that is truly new, innovative and ground breaking," added Chris Chinnock, president of Insight Media, via GI.biz.
"We have played Stereoscopic 3D games for hundreds of hours and can report that the latest technology does not result in eye strain or fatigue," notes Dale H Maunu, lead analyst on the report."Our experience leads us to believe that S-3D gaming is more immersive and compelling that traditional gaming on a 2D screen. We spoke directly with gamers, game developers, and game publishers as well as display makers to build a complete picture of the future of gaming, along the way going from sceptical middle-age display veterans to 3D gaming fanboys."
