NEM 2010 Barcelona – Stereo 3D Talk

I’m going to NEM 2010 in Barcelona in a couple of days to talk about our work on Stereo 3D that is going to be used in the upcoming Crysis 2.

It’s the same talk we gave at GDC Europe in Cologne but with revised slides and some new info.

That’s going to be good fun.
