Entertainment buffs can ready themselves for a virtual experience that uncannily enough promises to be as real as ever with Nvidia’s 3D Vision technology. Asus has taken the covers off the G51J notebook whose visuals are powered by Nvidia 3D Vision intelligence.

The notebook offering by Asus boasts of a 120Hz 3D Vision-enabled panel that is directly incorporated into its chassis for 3D on-the-fly. The G51J 3D will be packaged with 3D Vision active-shutter glasses. The display allows for crisp 2D as also 3D images, and includes support for HD playback of content like 3D games, photos, movies and more. Asus unveiled their offering at the Wine, Dine & Demo Press Event that was held in New York this week.

“We are extremely excited about bringing the first Nvidia 3D Vision notebook to market,” exclaimed PC Wang, Corporate VP and General Manager, Notebook Business Unit, System Business Group at Asus. “Nvidia and Asus have a passion for gaming and cutting-edge technology, and this is another example of how great companies working together can deliver awesome new platforms to our combined customers.”

Nvidia collaborated with a number of PC and notebook panel manufacturers as well as content developers to literally bring their 3D Vision technology to life. The company has proclaimed the extension of this innovative technology to high-definition notebook platforms too. Nvidia teamed up with display manufacturers such as CPT, CMO, Samsung and LG to devise 120Hz 3D Vision-enabled panels for notebooks. The results are manifested in advanced displays with 2D capability as well as flicker-free 3D support.

The technology offers a combination of wireless, advanced software and wide-range emitter to deliver full stereoscopic 3D visuals to PC games . Resident Evil 5, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, Borderlands, Star trek D-A-C and Batman: Arkham Asylum are listed among the 400 or more titles that work with Nvidia’s 3D intelligence.

While Asus has revealed plans to launch their G51J notebook on a global scale in early December, they have made no mention about the expected retail price for their device.
