How Does the 3DS Work Without 3D Glasses?

[figgus]

[citation][nom]pythy[/nom]I was hoping it would be a holographic projection like the ones in Star Wars, and now you're telling me it's only different images going into each eye so that it makes me "see" 3D?? Very disappointed Nintendo, you can do better than that[/citation]

Yeah Nintendo, hurry up and change the laws of physics!

[citation][nom]Nakal[/nom]So how screwed are people who are blind in one eye, or one eye is much stronger than another?[/citation]
tell me about it. i have a condition where i only use 1 eye and all this '3d' junk doesnt work. I want some real 3d, not 'tricks' that make you think something is 3d.

I remember those rulers that came out in the 80's and the 90's where a special printed paper was overlayed with a rigged plastic.

When you'd rub your nails over them they'd make a sound, and when you moved the ruler the image on the background would move.

Similarly the military used to have those 3D postcards. They looked pretty realistically.
It wouldn't surprise me if they would choose to overlay an LCD with a plastic layer like that to achieve 3D images. it would probably only add $2 to the cost of the device.
In case of the DS, Nintendo might be better off selling glasses that focus one eye per screen.

to all the naysayers. It can be turned OFF developers dont have to use it. and if you only have one eye you'll still see a 2d image just like in real life.

I'm also skeptical that this will have any decent functionality. By the way this particular method is described, it sounds like if I move my head an inch or two then I will have the image intended for my left eye in my right eye, thus killing any chance of a 3D image. This whole 3D tv thing is getting on my nerves a bit. If you have to wear glasses or be at a precise angle then clearly the technology isn't quite ready IMO. Because of this I wont be rushing out to buy a 3D tv, because there will probably be a better way to do it soon and they'll bring out -another- type of 3D tv technology. Gimme some eye tracking software pleaaaaaase. Yknow so games can do something like that dude did with the Wii. (YouTube: "Wiiremote head tracking" - or here's a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw) This was done years ago quite simple by 'some guy' with the know-how, and would work on any TV type.

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww a 3DS great can't wait for it. Also check out the clear light up Wii system controllers. You need 3D games for the 3D on the 3DS to work...I think. But come on a DSI XL how stupid. All it is is a bigger DSI with a bigger screen. Next thing you know Nintendo is going to make a glow in the dark laptop that is 3D called the GLOW 3DS XXXL top or some thing like that.

I am sooo fed up with 3D...i have 3 children and 1 has a turn in her eye meaning she only looks through 1 eye at a time, so is unable to see any of the 3D films/tv programmes or indeed games that are constantly being made and i know that they all would love 1 of these and i would have forked out for it too....but like the films its unfair for them to be going Wow...when she cant see it.....so no thanks they will stick with the DSi....

The 3ds is so awesome 😀 saw it today at the mall, but I was also hoping for a holographic image but oh well it is still pretty sweet 😛

3DS, then 3DSi, then 3DSi XL, THEN HD 3DSi etc. -_\\\ endless...

Wow, more damage for our eyes and brain. Not to think about the unknown damages to our kids.

It's probably like the holograph stickers you use to see back in the day, those stickers utilize the parallax effect as well. So if your looking off to the side, this shit is not going to work. On a side note: Freaking technology these days, I'm going to get Nintendo to invent me a time machine so I can go back to the 90s.

i have one u dont have to hold it perfect

IT WORKS LIKE THE POKEMON TAZOS, THAT HAVE TWO ONE POKEMON AND IF YOU TURN IT TO THE RIGHT YOU SEE A DIFFERENT IMAGE.NOW, IF THE TWO IMAGES WERE TWO DIFFERENT VIEWS OF ONE PICTURE(3D), IF YOU PUT YOUR EYES CLOSE ENOUGH, YOUR ONE EYE THAT WOULD BE TO THE LEFT, WOULD SEE THE FIRST IMAGE AND THE OTHER THE RIGHT IMAGE!

@pythy Since each of your eyes is a single lens camera, each one sees only a two dimensional picture of reality which the optical center assembles into a three dimensional model in your mind through interpolation. Looking at a three dimensional holograph is no different than looking at a three dimensional solid object. Your argument is tripe.

Having seen a 3DS for a few moments, I was startled that the image visibly and solidly appeared to extend out from and back into the screen with no distortion or video buffering. My jaw dropped, literally. I don't need anything for my pocket tasks beyond my DSi XL; Korg DS-10 and M01 synthesizers and maybe some Mahjongg or Earthworm Jim once in a while. I like the XL's larger screens, in particular. If there were a 3DS XL for a reasonable price I might have gone for that. Nintendo's 3D is, indeed, more than just a gimmick. I envision great possibilities. Actual contour maps for travelers and hikers; remote surgical instruction for dire emergencies, allowing a surgeon to talk a layman through procedure to save someone's life on the spot, with 3D directions and examples in real time; molecular modelling tools for geneticists and pharmacologists; real 3D chess like in Star Trek; the possibilities are endless. Did I mention porn? 3D pocket porn? Don't scoff. The Internet was paid for with porn.

3D pictures to test 3DS 3D capabilities

I think that based on the fact that there is a 3d "slider" to adust the "intensity" of the 3d, this may be a polished version of "cross-eyed 3d". %>)
