Valve spokesperson told Road to VR that they’re not promising to support stereoscopic 3D for flat games but they are looking into it.
The company further said it’s considering a system-level implementation that could display any stereoscopic 3D content, whether it’s stereoscopically rendered games, videos, or photos. Should the stereoscopic 3D feature be built, Valve told me it would “be our goal” to be able to display such content when streamed from a PC or rendered directly on the headset itself.
Game engines, give people a stereoscopic rendering mode and let the hardware vendors figure it out. Every game can be a 3D game without much problems. Display technology is there but the content isn’t.
If anyone could push this, it would be Valve. Just like Linux support. We should not be stuck in the 2D age forever
