At the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 in Las Vegas, manufacturers showed a lot of innovations and groundbreaking ideas and new prototypes. One of the most interesting products, from a Japanese company, was a 3D headset for the playstation 3. Now a day the 3D technology is more accessible to the masses unlike last year, however it is still relatively expensive. Several companies have been working with Sony and the PS3 to offer gamers a low-cost alternative.

The New 3D headset to the Playstation 3 The Playstation 3D headset is a gadget with visor-glasses with built-in headphones. On the inside of the product are a pair of displays to be addressed both in combination and with a 3D picture. According to the manufacturer Sony, it is also compatible for eyeglass wearers. Sony President Hiroshi Yoshioka has confirmed that the PS3 3D headset should work with games like Gran Turismo 5 already. The headphones are designed to provide perfect sound with the built-in microphone it can be used as a conventional headset too.

So far, the PS3 3D headset still in development phase and the version we tested was merely a prototype. Even the manufacturers have only been able to try out a prototype as no version are available for sale yet but customers should be able to buy it in shops within the next 6 months. We can also expect some other similar version from other companies to appear within the next year or so. This new technology is still in its early stages and has plenty of room for improvements and new features.

Our review of the PS3 3D Headset The PS3 3D headset is definitely a good alternative to the expensive 3D shutter glasses we know from television already. In addition to the glasses you also get a microphone and headphones integrated in one complete kit. The pictures are projected directly onto the retina and are thus bypassing the need to purchase a 3D-capable TV. Although so far no price has been provided by the manufacturer, it has said in advance that the PS3 3D headset is to be sold cheap making it an attractive gadget aimed at the gamers.

With a little luck this will not affect quality of the final product. Just keep in mind that one should remember that the human eye is first now being exposed for games in 3D as this is a brand new technology. Therefore, one must first get used to this form which can take up to a few days before you will feel relaxed playing these new 3D games. Still, the device is a nice innovation, which will surely be very interesting to many gamers all over the world.
