Games & CG — Without 3D Output Support (OpenXR / 2D→3D)

Can games that don't support 3D output still be enjoyed in 3D?

Depending on the environment, there are two main approaches.

Method 1. Real-time 3D output via OpenXR (B, M)

In applications such as Unity, Unreal Engine, and Blender, using OpenXR lets you play in real-time stereoscopic 3D through the MOPIC Runtime.

Because the engine or application generates the left-eye and right-eye images in real time, it can express not only binocular disparity but also motion parallax.

The viewpoint also shifts in real time as the user moves, for a more natural and immersive 3D experience. Since it runs on real-time rendering, system HW performance — including the GPU — matters.

Method 1 · Use Cases

· Unreal Engine / Unity-based content

· OpenXR-based XR content

· Content built in 3D authoring tools such as Blender

Method 1 · Note

OpenXR is a standard XR (AR/VR/MR) interface specification defined by the Khronos Group. It is designed so applications are not tied to a specific VR/AR device and can run across different runtime environments. MOPIC supports glasses-free 3D output on an OpenXR Runtime basis.

Method 2. Converting 2D game footage to 3D (B)

For games that don't support OpenXR or Stereo Rendering, you can convert the game screen itself from 2D to 3D in real time.

However, since the source has no real left/right viewpoint information, depth quality can vary by content.

And because this process requires real-time computation, the conversion quality can be affected by the characteristics of the source game and by HW performance, including the GPU. In real-time conversion especially, insufficient PC performance can cause frame drops, latency, and reduced image quality.

Method 2 · Use Cases

· General PC games

· Games without OpenXR support

· Legacy 2D games

· Emulator-based games

· General 2D graphics applications

Method 2 · Note

The real-time output approach (OpenXR-based) generates real left/right viewpoint information, so it delivers more natural, more stable depth. The 2D→3D conversion approach, by contrast, generates depth with AI, so depth quality can vary by content.
