ATI’s 3-D plans

Digital Versus posted an interview with ATI last week on their plans for stereoscopic 3-D. They interview Shane Parfitt who is the Product Manager of Infinity and Stereo 3D and Terry Makedon who is the Product Manager of Catalyst. Currently all the news seems to be revolving around NVIDIA. So, how is ATI going to counter that? Click through to read the interview and find out.

What is ATI’s current position regarding 3D? Do you already have products on the market?

SP: There are 2 parts to the answer of that question. The first is that we do already support stereo 3D in some fashion. What we support, have been doing so for a number of years, is what’s considered the older technology, solutions that involve passively polarised glasses and line-interleaved displays and checkerboard displays. The recent 3D hype has been around 3D shutter glasses.
