3D Eye Solutions, a service provider and integrator for the 3D stereo and auto-stereo media industry, has begun beta testing for its glasses-free 3D application for video game platforms such as Nintendo Wii, Apple iPhone, Mac and PC. The company is developing a new render engine that is more flexible in design and can be integrated with multiple gaming systems.

The company points to a recent announcement by Nintendo that it will sell a 3D version of its DS handheld player that doesn't require the user to wear glasses. The Japanese game console maker plans to disclose details of the new model at the E3 show in Los Angeles on June 15.

3D Eye Solutions has already started beta testing of its glasses-free 3D application for the Nintendo DS, Microsoft Xbox, and Sony PlayStation, and expects its test to be completed by the end of the third quarter. The application is based on a server and new file format that will enable state synchronization of player appliances and the server.

The application is developed mainly for use on glasses-free systems, however, it is also compatible with 3D video game systems with glasses. In addition, this application will enable 3D Eye Solutions to be able to convert in "real time" across multiple platforms including cinema and television.
