Definition: 3D vision


(1) Capturing an image in 3D. 3D vision methods include taking multiple 2D images that are "stitched" together to create 3D, as well as using two cameras for stereoscopic capture. See computer vision.

(2) (3D Vision) An earlier stereoscopic 3D gaming system for Windows PCs from NVIDIA. 3D Vision required an NVIDIA card and a monitor that supported 120 frames per second. The kit included driver software, infrared transmitter and liquid crystal (LC) shutter glasses to render games written to the Windows Direct3D API. Introduced in 2009, 3D Vision was praised for its realism; however, support was dropped in 2019. See LC shutter glasses, true 120 Hz, active 3D and 3D visualization.
