Eurogamer is tapping their sources on this one. Apparently the Xbox 360 will soon be capable of delivering HD stereoscopic 3D in the 1280×1470 twin 720p framebuffer configuration via HDMI 1.4. This essentially means 720p visuals for each eye.
The source suggests an E3 2011 announcement for this feature. “They’d be mad not to do it, is all I can say. The machine is not only very capable, it’s more capable than the PlayStation 3 of doing stereo, assuming you don’t have one of the old crappy ones with the composite leads… assuming you have a HDMI Xbox. The bottleneck is more on the graphical throughput for rendering out in stereo.”
Technically speaking, an HDMI 1.4 compatible system has more than enough bandwidth to deliver the twin 720p framebuffer required for HD stereoscopic 3D. Supposedly all that is required to enable this feature is a firmware update.
Microsoft has of course refused to comment on the rumours.
