ABSTRACT

In our current work, we explore novel gameplay opportunities in stereoscopic 3D (S3D) gaming. Our game prototype, YouDash3D, showcases first results in the following challenges: (1) how can stereoscopic gameplay differ from current, gameplay in a way that is especially effective with S3D display, and (2) how can S3D video contribute to interactive gameplay? In conclusion, we propose entertaining S3D video effects and depth-based game mechanics.
