QuakeCon 2009: Batman Arkham Asylum on a 60 foot screen - in 3D


A QuakeCon 2009 presentation presented by PC hardware web site PC Percepective was mostly about giving away prizes to frenzied fans willing to do pretty much anything for a free video card or motherboard. However, there was a very unique presentation that was held at the end of the show. PC graphics chip maker Nvidia gave out plastic 3D glasses to everyone at the the event and once all the prizes were given out they turned down the lights and turned on a projector to show something extremely cool; a quick playable demo of the upcoming super hero action game Batman: Arkham Asylum on a 60 foot screen in full 3D.

The demonstration, showing a section of the game that's not in the recently released PC demo, showcased the game's support of Nvidia's 3D Vision technology. Using a polarized video projector attached to a PC and then having the game's image thrown up on the massive screen had folks seeing The Dark Knight take out a bunch of enemies with that extra dimension that is usually seen in a state of the art 3D movie theater screen. Nvidia also showed part of the recentlly released Resident Evil 4 3D benchmark demo on the big screen.

Nvidia's 3D Vision tech can only be used by the home viewer if you have the supported monitor or video projector and the glasses. While you won't quite get the experience the people at QuakeCon got to see, the PC version of Batman Arkham Asylum (due on September 15 in stores) will fully support that technology.
