PSP 3D viewer release appears slightly more distant

November 26, 2009

If you’ve been waiting patiently to enhance your PSP experience with 3D effects, we’ve got some kind of disappointing news. The V-Screen peripheral, originally announced for a holiday release, will now be launched at CES, which takes place January 7-10. At least it’s a specific release period.

Attendees will get to see:

what it would look like if someone made a Light Boy for PSP, and
“optical technology first developed for the medical world in order to enhance depth cues hidden in existing images.”

It seems like the best way to sell technology like this is to show it off to a crowd ravenous for gadgets. We know we’re actually quite curious about the promised depth-enhancement effects.
The press release says that the device works with the “PSP 1000, 2000, 3000 and Slim.” Even more mysteriously, the official website says that it’s “compatible with all currently available Sony PSP models, including the original PSP, the PSP 2000 and the PSP 4000.” You might be able to get a Go in the case, if you keep it closed. Unless the screen part detaches from the case part, which would be convenient.
