..Well almost. Sheridian College of Canada has developed a real-time auto-stereoscopic 3D game called, IC3D, which’ll be showcased at the Ontario House Pavilion at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games.

Developed in collaboration with Toronto-based company Spatial View, the Sheridan IC3D Game is an interactive real-time application where players use BlackBerry smartphones as game controllers to assemble puzzles featuring some of Ontario’s most popular tourist attractions.

Visitors to the Ontario House Pavilion will play the puzzle game featuring 20 of Ontario’s landmark attractions, displayed as ‘icicons’, on 46” Spatial View auto-stereoscopic 3D screens. The pieces of each attraction, or ‘icicon’, appear scattered on a frozen 3D landscape. Up to five players work collaboratively to assemble the ‘icicons’, each using a BlackBerry smartphone. Once complete, a multimedia presentation of the attraction is displayed on each player’s device.

There is no mention of the cost involved to develop such games and screens for mass consumption, but the technology with worth a look. As of now gamers can try out Nvidia’s 3D gaming kit (a review of which will be up this weekend) along with special Samsung monitors for 3D experience.

Nvidia’s 3D gaming kit is brillaint for the gamer, but an on looker will be able to see only blurry visuals on-screen without the glasses, which might limit it’s use to individuals and keep it away from living rooms.

The Sheridan 3D Game was created by Sheridan’s Visualization Design Institute (VDI), an applied research unit with established expertise in the field of computer visualization and specializing in deploying game technologies in 3D environments. A team of students from the college’s Applied Computing and Engineering Sciences School worked with VDI staff to take this application from concept to finished product.

Founded in 2004, Spatial View is a leading developer of 3D image processing and display technologies. The company’s vision is to make 3D more accessible, affordable and versatile opening up 3D to a broader market, including mobile and personal computers. Spatial View’s unique technology allows users to view 3D content in high quality on a variety of platforms without the need for 3D glasses.

Spatial View, had in the past developed glasses-free 3D music video available for the iPhone for the 52nd annual Grammy Awards. UVPH designed and directed the video entitled “Drown in the Now” for The Crystal Method.
