I'm beginning to see that the problem is not just how to get 3D vision signal from the game.. it's how you are going to view it.. Some of the suggestions made have been around for a while and some are new... The --( http://torbensko.com/phd/)-- is a new method... . I liked the idea a lot.... / "by augmenting traditional forms of computer game interaction using unconventional, but commercially viable approaches." / but not what I was interested in.... I guess I was more in line with the old school method using the new technological advances like small video screens. literally having a set of these screens in some sort of a casing ( like head sets or large gargles or binoculars or IMAX glasses) where you actually bring your head and eyes in close proximity of the input and fool your brain into thinking it sees the game environment as a real world... -( Thunder and lightning...:-) ) But then.. I would be missing out on the special effects graphic cards bring on to regular large game screens... Since the small screen are more in line for camera viewers and mini system...
