How have 3D glasses been used for computer gaming?
Only a few years ago, seeing in 3-D meant peering through a pair of red-and-blue glasses. It was a different, fun thing do to, but 3-D technology has moved on. Scientists know more about how our vision works now than ever before, and our computers are more powerful than ever before. Most of us have components in our computer that are dedicated to producing realistic graphics. Most computer users are familiar with 3-D games. Back in the ’90s, computer enthusiasts were stunned by the game Castle Wolfenstein 3D, which took place in a maze-like castle. It may have been constructed from blocky tiles, but the castle existed in three dimensions – you could move forward and backward, or hold down the appropriate key and see your viewpoint spin through 360 degrees. Back then, it was revolutionary and quite amazing. Today, gamers enjoy ever more complicated graphics – smooth, three-dimensional environments complete with realistic lighting and complex simulations of real-life physics grace our sc
