As we mentioned in our review of Nvidia's GeForce 3D Vision kit, 3D display technology is nothing new. Consumer active 3D technology for games dates back to the SegaScope 3D for the Sega Master System, two decades ago. Since then, the methods to make graphics appear to "pop out from the screen" have been steadily evolving and improving, but always come with some compromises. In the case of GeForce 3D Vision, the best implementation we've seen so far, the drawbacks are several—you need an expensive 120Hz monitor, a pricey active LCD shutter glasses kit, and you're tied down to a GeForce graphics card.
If you're thinking "there has to be a better way," you'll be happy to hear that iZ3D is right there with you. Yes, you still need a special (and more expensive) monitor, but you only need some really cheap passive polarized glasses, and the technology works with both Nvidia and ATI graphics cards.
