In another Summit debut, this one day October 5th Summit will be the first GDC event to explore the world of 3D stereoscopic gaming in depth. With 3D-capable movies such as Avatar and Alice In Wonderland topping the worldwide box office for multiple weeks, and engine companies and console manufacturers alike touting the rise of 3D in gaming, we'll be gathering industry experts to explain and demonstrate the latest advances in the area. Should you be building 3D support into your games now? What are the key hardware penetration and technical barriers to 3D becoming a defacto standard in the video game industry? We'll be exploring these questions and more in the 3D Stereoscopic Games Summit.
