DePaul Student’s Virtual Boy Research Accepted for ACE 2009

CDM undergrad student Matt Zachara’s research paper on the Nintendo Virtual Boy console will be presented at the ACE 2009 conference to be held in Athens, Greece. ACE is a leading academic ACM conference whose focus is to gather researchers from academia and industry to stimulate discussion in the development and advancement of interactive art and entertainment applications.

Matt has spent the last year working with Professor Jose Zagal doing videogame research. Their paper, “Challenges for Success in Stereo Gaming: A Virtual Boy Case Study”, explores some of the challenges that must be overcome for mass-adoption of stereoscopic 3D videogame systems.
Nintendo’s Virtual Boy platform, originally released in 1995, was the first portable gaming console capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D images. It was a commercial failure. Matt’s research explores the reasons for this failure as means for examining and understanding the challenges that exciting upcoming technologies such as volumetric displays and 3D flat panel displays will have to address if they wish to succeed.
