We have received word of a new display technology to be demonstrated at CES. It’s called DualView, and it apparently “it allows two opponents to view their action in full screen rather than a split playing screen.” Well, if you are playing online that is not usually a problem, but same-TV deathmatch has had this problem for years in games like Goldeneye and Mario Kart, not to mention that game with that Monsieur Chief guy in it.

What do you guys think it is? Two players both get to use the whole screen. I’m going to guess it’s some kind of refractive layer that splits the image’s projection, so each player gets the whole screen, but only every other pixel or whatever. In any case, it might be awesome, and we’ll give you the whole story in a couple days.
