1997, eh? I didn't know the Wii was invented back then. Come on, Tom's!!

 

[andrewcutter]

cant this be done on any monitor with a cam to track. i fail to understand how this is due to ipad....

 

[zorky9]

So it actually took Nintendo 10 years to release the Wii...

Smells like patent wars soon...

I forgot about this tech. It is very cool.

3D-ish, if you don't get seasick from the requirement for constant reorientation, which this kind of 3D requires, and has existed on devices for a long time...

psudo 3d done on the dsi lite (not the 3ds)

It's odd that Nintendo would have the controller ready years before the console, isn't it?

 

[ben850]

Don't care what you say.. this is cool.

Nice concept but my old nokia has a front facing camera too 😀 Theoretically it can do 3D long before iPad 2... 😀 iPad is not magical!

yes you need to have also the processing power to do that.
I think the reason here that they used iPad 2 is that is the most widely sold tablet.
It's up to the developer to implement it on the other platforms.

That still isn't 3d. The program only changes the perspective of the scene, since both eyes see the same image there is no stereopsis.

 

[CyberAngel]

Simply wow!
But since I'm wearing glasses anyway I want circular polarization stereoscopic display so I can also tilt my head while playing/watching/working

Check Ebil's link. If a DSi can do this, any device with a front facing camera can do this. Not new, not innovative, just a couple of hacks trying to exploit gullible mactards with "check out what your amazing iPad can do".

This looks far more impressive on a camera than it does in real life and it's nothing new. Since both eyes see the same image, it's flat and lacks depth. It can certainly increase immersion but it doesn't feel 3D in the slightest. Of course, this coupled with a true 3D display can lead to an incredible sense of immersion.

@Vladislaus

as opposed to the artificial depth perception that a stereoscopic display produces... there really isnt much to differentiate the two, they both provide artificial depth perception, one is a passive setup the other is dynamic

I can see you are one of the so called "cool people' / apple haters.
I bet you wouldnt haved complained and trolled if this demo was actually done on a Xoom...
get a life

NICE SOFTWARE!!! yea u heard me, SOFTWARE!

seriously this isn't about hardware at all but the ability to utilize complex software and simplified hardware to create no glasses 3d.

In my opinion, this is better than that funky thing nintendo came out with in the 3DS,

or those 3d TV's..

The fact that we have enough processing power now that we can have a 1 lb. handheld device that not only renders 3D graphics but can also run a object tracking algorithm via optical camera at the same time is pretty cool.
