Acer Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs: the peculiar 3D screen of this laptop is accompanied by power in abundance


Acer has just launched a new and peculiar gaming laptop: the Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs. Beyond its specifications, which we will address later, it is striking that the laptop incorporates a stereoscopic 3D display which, according to Acer, is compatible with more than 50 classic and modern games.

In addition to this device, the main protagonist of this text, the company has announced the Predator Triton 300 SE and two high refresh rate gaming monitors, one of them compatible with HDMI 2.1. Lots of news, so let’s get down to business.

We start with what, without a doubt, is the most interesting gaming model. The Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs drinks from the technology that the firm implemented last year in its ConceptD family. Stereoscopic 3D allows, in a nutshell, access to 3D content without the need for glasses.

How does it work? Combining an eye-tracking solution, a stereoscopic 3D display (projecting two slightly different images through a liquid crystal lenticular lens attached to the panel), and “real-time rendering technologies”. However, it will always be possible to switch between 2D and 3D.

According to Acer, “Most games are created with three dimensions in mind: in every setting and object they design, developers include depth information.” What this laptop does is, through SpatialLabs technology, take advantage of that information to recreate the 3D representation. The 50 compatible games, which have not been determined, will have a pre-configured profile at launch with more to come in the future.
