'Subroc 3D'
[ARC] [UK] [MAGAZINE] [1982]
"SubRoc-3D is a first-person arcade shooter game released in 1982 by Sega. It is the first commercial video game in stereoscopic 3-D, using a periscope-shaped display with a different image for each eye. It was jointly developed by Sega and Matsushita Electric (now Panasonic), who developed its active shutter 3D system. The game has stereo sound, and also changes the backdrop to reflect day, night, dawn, and dusk. (...)The stereoscopic 3D effect is achieved with an active shutter 3D system. It uses a special eyepiece, a viewer with spinning discs to alternate left and right images to the player's eyes from a single monitor. The player's face is pressed against the eyepiece, which is shaped like a submarine periscope and attached to a controller below. The game's pseudo-3D visuals are created with scaled sprites using the VCO Object hardware, previously used in Sega's 1981 racing game Turbo." ~Wikipedia
