Not to be outdone by NVIDIA’s VISION technology, AMD has partnered with DDD and their software TriDef, which is able to actively convert 3D-rendered games into stereoscopic 3D. It’s compatible with movies and photos too, meaning it’s a real contender to NVIDIA.
he HD3D technology comes along with the brand new 6870 and 6850 graphic boards.

DDD and AMD announce collaboration to build out 3D ecosystem
DDD’s TriDef 2D and 3D Conversion solution to power new AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 family graphics processors
Santa Monica, California: DDD Group plc (AIM: DDD), the 3D consumer technology licensing group, today announced a collaboration with AMD (NYSE: AMD) that combines DDD’s comprehensive TriDef® stereoscopic 3D software with AMD’s next generation AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 family of graphics processors.
Through the collaboration, AMD plans to supply DDD’s TriDef software under license to PC original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and add-in-board (AiB) manufacturers as part of AMD’s integrated 3D solution. DDD will also offer discounted software downloads to customers that purchase either an AMD Radeon™ HD 5000 family or an AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 family graphics card and wish to upgrade to stereo 3D.
Since the first mass-market stereoscopic 3D notebook PC was introduced by Acer in October 2009, featuring DDD’s TriDef software and AMD Mobility Radeon™ HD graphics processor, demand for stereoscopic 3D games and movies has significantly increased.
DDD’s TriDef 3D Experience software allows more than 350 of the very latest PC games to be played in stereoscopic 3D ‘off the shelf’, even though the game has not been specifically developed for 3D. DDD’s TriDef Ignition™ 2D to 3D conversion engine is compatible with DirectX® 9, 10 and 11 games and its unique high performance stereoscopic 3D render mode enables 3D to be enjoyed on a broad range of PC products including low cost ‘entry level’ systems.
“With the AMD Radeon™ HD 6800 series graphics cards, AMD is introducing AMD HD3D technology, the result of our open 3D initiative for stereo 3D gaming and movies,” said Matt Skynner, vice president and general manager, GPU Division, AMD. “Through DDD, AMD HD3D technology supports more than 350 games, and AMD’s open 3D ecosystem approach encourages an incredibly broad selection of 3D solutions, available at an extremely affordable cost.”
DDD’s TriDef 3D Experience solution is already used by many leading PC OEMs including Acer, Lenovo, Fujitsu and LG Electronics in notebook and All-In-One PCs. Available in 25 international languages, it features automatic 2D to 3D game conversion, automatic 2D to 3D photo and video conversion and playback of originally made 3D movies, including the library of over 30 HD 3D movies available for download from DDD’s Yabazam! website.
Chris Yewdall, chief executive of DDD said:
“We are delighted to have been selected by AMD as a best-in-class 3D game software solution for its 3D ecosystem, which will help to accelerate the adoption of high-quality 3D solutions by OEMs and end users.”
