Some time ago ELSA released drivers with their 3D glasses that would highlight a player in Quake2 when a railgun shot would hit home, so its not the first time a hardware manufacturer has done something like this.
Not that that justifies it of course. Whoever thought of this idea still needs to be tarred and covered with printouts of BiFs old column updates.

Looks like marketing stunt. The drivers probably supported these views already (i can think of legit uses for it), so this is probably a cruft to enable dynamic switching.

Lordy lordy lordy.
How are these drivers supposed to "elevate the gaming industry to a higher level of playing" (to quote the recent interview with an ASUS bod).
And how on earth can they consider it to be a "technology advance" to be able to draw wireframe or remove/mask textures? Ooohhh god no, no-one's ever been able to draw wireframe until now...
Granted, no-one's ever bothered to provide /key-binds/ for them before, but hell...

Fear open source drivers as much as you fear open source games.

I thought it was a reasonable comment. The Linux VooDoo2/3 drivers are open-source, so there's nothing really stopping people from making their own x-ray version of the VooDoo drivers. Hacked drivers is also probably how Q3 aimbots are implemented.
