Watch this whole video; you won’t be disappointed. This guy has got me inspired to perhaps get back into 3D game development. I actually tried to get started on testing this system out today, but my laptop’s bluetooth card is not compatible, so I may have to get me a dongle.

I already have some awesome ideas, like making a virtual chess game where you can move your head all around to see the board like it was actually there. One of the main problems I have had with using a 3D chess board on a computer is that it is hard to see the board and pieces properly because the pieces tended to block the view of other pieces, plus depth perception is a bit off. This is part of the reason that Gary Kasparov wore 3D glasses when playing against X3D Fritz. With a setup like the one in the video above, Kasparov could of just leaned left and right to get a better view of the board.

Pretty neat stuff. It’s got me a bit excited and I can’t wait to see what others are going to do with it. Perhaps Nintendo will come out with official equipment for this and some cool games to go along with it.
