Third party makes the PSP 3D

[dib]

You may like your PSP, but wouldn't you love it more... with another dimension? RealView Innovations Ltd. is launching something called the V-Screen in the fourth quarter of this year, and the peripheral promises to turn your system into something of a 3D experience.

"The innovation uses special optical components in unconventional ways,” states Eamonn Ansbro, an Optical Engineer who is co-Executive Director of RVI. “No software, electronics or headgear is required. Nonetheless, the optical results are astonishing.” Continued Ansbro: “The video game industry is a perfect fit for our technology. The V-Screen offers consumers a tremendous leap forward in optical enhancement.”

OK, that's from the press release, but when I contacted the company hoping for more details about how the thing works, I was told they're holding back information about the technology until September. They did send an image though, and I am sharing that with you right now.

Not sure how it works, not sure how well it works, not sure about anything, but it's an interesting idea. We'll be keeping our eyes on this one until we have more information to share.

Some sort of optical effect, looks gimmicky. I'm sure some people will find value in the novelty.

I wouldn't want to been seen in public with that thing attached to my PSP but if I was alone like, in a cave maybe.

I knew it..
It'll be like how 3D movies are with the glasses, the lenses, the WOOHOO!... jk

Eh, we'll see how it turns out. Nothing to look forward to really.

Hmm, I had something similar to this for my GBA (first generation). It had a loupe and a light, so you could see better, because the screen had no backlight back then...

I don't think this will sell for a PSP but it would sell for the DS or Wii if it was developed for those systems.

u don't need to make graphics better for the psp, though tht is a very big reason why psp is selling so polishing it isn't a bad idea
