Nvidia CEO: This is the Beginning of the 3D Revolution

Speaking of revolution in Taiwan is always risky, but Nvidia
CEO Jen-Hsun
Huang
didn’t mince words: “This is the beginning of the 3D revolution.”

Huang spoke at its 3D Experience Center, a few blocks away from
the Computex Taiwan World Trade Center Hall, where he had gathered a few
hundred tech reporters and graphics groupies. Indeed, although, Huang spoke for
a bit about Nvidia’s Optimus and DX11 support, most of his enthusiasm was
reserved for Nvidia’s 3D Vision.

“There is no reason to buy another PC unless it has 3D in
it,” explained Huang. To make it easier to tell if a PC is 3D capable, Nvidia
offers a simple formula, which, of course, puts Nvidia front and center. The
company calls a 3D PC any desktop or notebook that:

  • Includes a pair of active shutter glasses
  • Has a 120Hz 3D capable display
  • Includes a discrete graphics processor that can render high
    definition 3D imagery.
On cue, Asus CEO Jerry Shen came on stage to show off two
new 3D capable systems. The first is a new All-in-One EeeTop PC with a 24-inch
display.  The second is the G51Jx-EE laptop,
which comes with a built-in wireless transmitter for the glasses. “It’s
wireless, so there is no need to connect a wire to the glasses,” Shen said.
