Microsoft will add 3D capabilities to next-generation Xbox game consoles

February 15 news, according to technology website BGR reports, as players around the world are concerned about when Microsoft will launch its next-generation Xbox game console, rumors about this product continue to emerge. A new job advertisement shows that Microsoft is working on adding 3D capabilities to the next-generation Xbox game consoles.

It is reported that Microsoft recently recruited an algorithm development engineer for its Xbox team in Haifa, Israel. The algorithm development engineer will be responsible for the design and implementation of algorithms for advanced 3D imaging systems.

Microsoft's move shows that it is seriously treating 3D technology. With the advent of 3D-enabled high-definition televisions, 3D gaming is becoming increasingly popular. However, the video game industry has just begun to touch in optimizing content for 3D technology.

Microsoft may launch the next-generation Xbox game console at the E3 show later this year. However, the time to market may have to wait until 2013. It is not yet clear whether Microsoft will launch 3D capabilities at the same time when it launches new game consoles.
