"We're pleased by the broad acceptance of 3D-vision technologies for the arcade by many partners, including Intel and Inner Workings," said Bob Seltzer, director of sales and marketing for StereoGraphics Corp.

StereoGraphics Products for the Arcade Market

The StereoGraphics Monitor ZScreen™ is a flat-panel overlay for arcade displays that provides true stereoscopic 3D viewing capabilities using inexpensive paper glasses with polarized lenses. The Projector ZScreen™ is a liquid crystal filter for video projectors that allows large audiences to view stereoscopic content using the same paper glasses. Through the Intel Arcade Architecture, both products are easily integrated for displaying true 3D images to Arcade customers, either individually or in groups.

Scotland-based game developer Inner Workings is enabling a Stereo 3D version of its first arcade title, Plane Crazy. "We are always looking for new features and technologies to incorporate into our products and we are pleased to be working with StereoGraphics," said Andrew Walker, strategic business manager for Inner Workings.
