blue dots  Halo 3 3D

Halo 3 came out recently. Big media event! The team that worked on the game ensured that it will have additional longevity - since the game ships with tools for users to create and upload their own videos and screenshots from within the game. Score a triple kill with two sniper bullets on Narrows? Render your own video or screenshot. Halo 3 becomes an amateur sport!

(They need better video editing tools, and most definitely the ability to view the clips on the web! Right now, the clips are only viewable through Halo 3 on the Xbox 360. Maybe that's the only audience that cares. Except Halo 3 veterans at work. They're probably waiting to see how popular this feature is, and might expand it later for optional additional $$$, maybe when Halo is growing long in the tooth. Hopefully not too long!)

Anyhow, to tie this all back to the Interactive Media Division:

A blogger Kato figured out how to render Halo 3 screenshots in 3D. Here's a red/cyan stereo version:

halo 3 3d

He's also rendered cross-eyed viewing and parallel viewing. Sounds like a 3D veteran! He's posted a tutorial: How To: Make Stereo 3D Halo 3 Screenshots.

Thanks, Duncan from Passively Multiplayer blog, for the link.
