Myth in 3D!

[capital]

This is a rendering depicting what Myth in 3D could look like, alternating between two displaced viewing angles, I imagine Myth could internally displace and then output a 3D depiction for suitable viewing screens &/or glasses:

Don't believe the technique, well check here for something related:

Whoa. We've joked about 3D before but that actually looks pretty awesome Maybe we should look into adding some kind of 3D support.

Cap that is very impressive, and please forgive my lack of knowledge, but technically Myth is in 3D. I think I understand what you are trying to demonstrate, but could you explain it a little more (in Myth terms would be nice).

Well myth is technically in 2D with option to view it from an arbitrary view point so you in effect can explore a "3D esque " environment, however it is NOT a stereoscopic view thereof. Our eyes, if they are both working conjointly allow us to view the world in stereo vision, aka a stereoscopic view, allowing us to achieve a perception of depth of field, aka what object is near in relation to an object that is far away.

What I have done is similar to what the pop photo article is doing, I am taking two DIFFERENT viewing angles, merging them to display a representative proof of principle stereoscopic view of the myth game.

I understand. Well if a proof of concept could be made somehow with a Myth build, I'd love to see it.

Have you tried it with NVIDIA's stereo 3D driver that tries to do that semi-automatically? Most of it might work. Just some of the UI stuff might need tweaking.
