Montreal, Canada, January 10, 2006 — Matrox Graphics Inc. introduces Parhelia Precision SDT, the world's first single-card solution for digital stereoscopic (stereo-3D) monitors like the Planar SD1710. Such displays have 2 LCD flat panels mounted one over the other and a special polarized glass mounted between them. A realistic 3D view can be seen when looking at the glass though correspondingly polarized glasses.

[Marshmallowman]

Medical imaging and GIS they will make $$ on this stuff.
I think this kind of stuff is still matrox's real niche.

Reminds me of a recent Dilbert... a diamond-studded time machine that takes you one hour into the future in only 60 minutes!

There was only one person rich enought and stupid enough to buy it in the whole world :P Surround gaming didn't sell well and now they want us to buy real-3D gfx ?
