I’ve ported my Rendepth shader to a ReShade plug-in for 2D-to-3D conversion of Windows PC games. Not every title has depth buffer access (needed for the depthmap reprojection) but some new games like Assassin’s Creed: Shadows are supported, and likely around 500 older titles should work. The video
Pretty sure I actually finished Rendepth, my new 3D media player and 2D-to-3D conversion app. For sure there are tons of features still on the table, but it feels feature complete and stable enough for a launch. The (somewhat long) video above demonstrates most of what’s working. At
Started working on Rendepth for real this time. Had two previous prototypes, one in OpenGL and one in an engine I won’t mention. I also have a command-line processor in Python (for the color depth estimation portion). This past week I decided to reboot fresh with SDL3 and
Rebooted work on Rendepth, my stereo 3D media player. Decided to go with SDL3 as the base, as it has a new cross-platform renderer (Vulkan, Metal, DirectX12), which will make things a bit easier. Needed something lightweight, so felt that starting from scratch rather than repurposing Degine code
Recently I modded my iPhone 15 Pro for glasses-free 3D, though haven’t had the chance to write a proper review. Surprisingly, I was able to buy what essentially looks like a screen-protector from overseas and slap it on the iPhone and it’s 3D. No joke. This does not
I recently got myself a Leia Lume Pad 2, and I’ve had about a week to test it out. Let me just start by saying this is the most significant advance in consumer electronics in years. Probably since VR hit the consumer market. It’s a high-end 12″ Android
Recently I got interested in exploring red/cyan anaglyph 3D again. Most people write off anaglyph, but it’s still the cheapest and most compatible solution for stereoscopic 3D, even today. Glasses can get had for a few dollars, and literally any display device works (even printed on paper). In
Looks like the VR/AR crowd-funding freight-train is not slowing down one bit. The latest success story being castAR, a set of stereo 3D augmented reality glasses from ex-Valve engineers. At first I was not all that excited about the project, seeing as I am more of a VR
