Hoping to boost sales of its 3D televisions among gamers, LG showed off technology that lets traditional split screen multiplayer games be played full screen.
Called Dual Play, it works by making a 3D display essentially two 2D displays overtop each other: Rather than sending different images to the left and right eyes of one player, it sends different images to the left and right players. One player wears a set of polarized 3D glasses with two left eye lenses andadd the other player wears a set with two right eye lenses. That allows each player to see their own section of the game full screen, but only in 2D.
To see the Dual Play system on show at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, watch the report on YouTube.
