Its always nice to be the first with new technologies like 3D.It is the content however that puts the fun and excitement in 3D. LG must have experienced the same with the Optimus 3D hardware.
To solve the issue, LG will be issuing a new tool that converts 2D games into 3D games. The new tool will be called the 3D Game Converter and doesn’t require any action from game developers as long as the game is created in landscape modus and OpenGL is involved; hence it will be distributed directly to 3D smartphone owners. Still, LG does offer developers optional control over the 3D effect in their games.
LG will distribute the tool with the introduction of the new firmware for the Optimus 3D in October.
A 3D expert from LG had this explanation for the software: “Far from being a gimmick, LG’s 3D Game Converter automatically recognizes the depth information based on the location of each object and separates the 2D graphic images for each eye… creating an illusion of visual depth.”
