I slide on a pair of 3D glasses for this demo of a development platform, created by BSquare, that can turn 2D games into 3D games on the fly. Here, I'm using a prototype handset with a 1Ghz Qualcomm dual-core processor to see "Desert Winds" on a flat-panel display. The platform uses 3D APIs and the OpenGLS gaming standard to nudge conventional games into 3D territory.

Since this was a demo, there was no actual game play, but I did tap the screen to toggle between 2D and 3D. I'll admit, the graphics in some action sequences did look pretty cool.
