EA/Panasonic lead 3D game study alliance

Electronic Arts and Panasonic head an alliance of top gaming and electronics companies creating a consumer study of stereoscopic 3D gaming by the S-3D Gaming Alliance.

The U-Decide Initiative, an industry-wide consumer online survey of PC and console gamers around the world, is open now and ends October 1st, 2010.

When the survey period is complete, there will be a drawing for more than 50 great prizes for respondents, including a  Panasonic 3D HDTV, a Zalman FullHD 21.5 inch 3D Monitor, gaming headsets by Steelseries, and more than 40 PC and console games by Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, and Blitz Games Studios.

“Panasonic supports this effort to tie consumers to 3D technology,” said James Mercs, Managing Director of Panasonic Hollywood Labs.

“We anticipate hearing what gamers have to say about stereoscopic 3D gaming, and the products they are most excited about,” said Alan Price, Chief Technical Officer for Electronic Arts Canada.

The survey is multiple choice and only takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Interested gamers should visit S3DGA’s consumer arm Meant to be Seen and select U-Decide from the top menu. While Meant to be Seen registration is required, it is both free and instantaneous.
