YouTube manages the NVIDIA 3D Vision

YouTube has released a 3D stereoscopic movie player compatible with HTML 5 and Firefox Vision 3D NVIDIA, according to a statement posted on the website of the manufacturer of graphics cards. YouTube has released a 3D stereoscopic movie player compatible with HTML 5 and Firefox Vision 3D NVIDIA, according to a statement posted on the website of the manufacturer of graphics cards.

Owners of a GeForce compatible drivers 275 or older can use their glasses to view certain videos fillings. NVIDIA has released a web page with examples. NVIDIA's announcement is part of a larger event for Google. The editor supports officially stereoscopy after two years of testing alpha and finally he has to deploy its large-scale system.

Customers can choose their mode of operation. YouTube manages colored glasses (red-blue, green and blue-magenta-yellow) and the superimposition of two images side by side or interwoven. The latter two procedures are designed to compatible TVs and monitors. The plethora of options reflects the lack of standard unit manufacturers.

The reader uses Google's HTML 5 encoded videos WebM. For the record, it is a codec that combines Google VP8 video and Ogg Vorbis files for audio. Intended to compete with H.264, WebM is open and does not require the purchase of a license, as is sometimes the case for the codec competitor (see "Google to compete WebM H.264).

Last January, the search has thrown the cat among the pigeons by announcing that Chrome, its browser, abandoned support for H.264 by the browser in favor of WebM. It is always possible to play H.264 videos, but they must be encapsulated in a Flash player. (See "The End of H.264 on Chrome").

Of course, YouTube is also passed to the reader WebM HTML 5. Flash Player continues to use the H.264 (see "YouTube goes WebM). Readers 3D stereoscopic still contains many bugs. It is also surprising that the drive HTML 5 3D Vision does not run on Chrome, the latest NVIDIA drivers who made the 3D Vision on the Google browser.

One imagines that it is primarily a problem of stability. On 3D Vision works on Firefox and requires randomly disable SLI NVIDIA according to an official interviewed by AnandTech. The 3D videos also have a lower resolution than the standard versions. One imagines that YouTube wants to save bandwidth.

In short, this is a first step, but this is far from convincing.
