How 3D Monitors Work

ASUS VG236H 23-Inch 120 Hz 3D Ready Panel Monitor with nVidia 3D Vision Kit - BlackThere is a new breed of LCD available that can turn your computer into games 3d virtual reality type experience. These monitors work with polarized glasses and allow to take 3D images of the depth or even appear off the screen. They create depth in images by simulating the way your brain perceives depth by showing different images for each eye.

When a person looks at an object in 3 dimensions, he sees the object from different angles. Although the eyes are close enough, if you close one eye then the other, you will see two slightly different images. The brain instantly analyzes the differences between the two images and is able to detect the distance of each object is the viewer, creating our perception of depth. So the key is 3D monitors to display separate images for each eye, simultaneously from cameras installed within inches of each other.

Create images to be displayed to each eye is the simplest part. 3D display drivers can quickly create an image from two different angles in a game. The difficult part is to display the correct image to each eye. The newest breed of monitors games 3d does this polarization of light using.
