NVIDIA 3D Vision Video Now Available on YouTube w/ HTML5
NVIDIA today announced that YouTube is for the first time giving users the ability to view thousands of 3D videos in rich, high-quality stereoscopic 3D on their NVIDIA 3D Vision PCs and notebooks when using the latest version of the Mozilla Firefox Web browser. They uploaded a video to the site and we tired it out on our 3D Vision enabled office PC this morning and sure enough it works great with FireFox 5.0 Beta.
In order to enabled 3D Vision you need to go to the 3D ‘tab’ on the bottom of the YouTube video that allows you to tinker with 3D video options and click
options.
From there you need to select the HTML 5 option and then you’ll be set. To view YouTube stereoscopic 3D videos, an NVIDIA 3D Vision-equipped PC or notebook and the latest NVIDIA GeForce drivers (version 275 or above), are required, as well as Firefox (version 4 or above), which includes support for HTML5 video streaming. Users will also need to select the HTML5 viewing option when viewing a YouTube 3D video like this one below.
With a number of new, consumer 3D video cameras launched this year, YouTubes support of NVIDIA 3D Vision technology extends its existing commitment to 3D, enabling even more consumers and 3D enthusiasts to share their 3D videos online. With attractively priced models now available from JVC, Sony and other leading vendors, users now have another easy way to capture and post high-quality 3D videos on YouTube, 3DVisionLive.com, or even their own websites by embedding the YouTube 3D video player. To further showcase the new YouTube stereoscopic 3D video streaming capabilities and some of the latest professional and user-generated 3D YouTube videos, NVIDIA is now hosting the top YouTube stereoscopic 3D videos on its 3D web community site at www.3DVisionLive.com/YT3D.
