Open-source project wants to bring stereoscopic 3D gaming back from the dead

Volunteers have launched wiz3D, an open-source successor to iZ3D for stereoscopic 3D on Windows.

Unlike the old kernel-driver model, wiz3D uses DLL hooks and proxy wrappers to create 3D output.

It already supports some legacy APIs and aims for wider compatibility with DirectX and OpenGL games.

If it matures, wiz3D could bring back 3D gaming for classic titles and revive older 3D hardware and headsets.
