Acer has announced a new Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition laptop to complement its mobile gaming lineup. The laptop is a collaboration that offers gamers a 3D stereoscopic experience without the need for extra glasses. As Acer explains it, the 15.6-inch 2D UHD display is bonded to a liquid crystal lenticular lens that can effectively switch back and forth between 2D and 3D views.
This is achieved with the new onboard SpatialLabs TrueGame app with support for more than 50 games at launch (with more expected in the future). Game developers relay information about depth of scene, and along with eye-tracking and real-time rendering, it’s all translated into a 3D stereoscopic image. This is a feature not often seen in the best gaming laptops, and it should be appealing to anyone looking to push their gaming experience to the next level.
