Rubin Farr Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 So it's codename is the Nintendo 3DS which might be changed later, but it uses dual cameras to produce stereo 3D without glasses. Hopefully it has a more powerful graphics processor this time. http://kotaku.com/5499784/what-we-know-and-think-we-know-about-the-nintendo-3ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomeperson Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/could-this-be-the-basis-for-the-new-ds3d-tech Could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 That is cool, couldnt figure out how it made sense until that video. Not sure how it applies to making games fun to play though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassis Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Thats head recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah, I would much rather have this than any of the millions of movies that are coming out in 3D. They've just announced that they'll be rebooting Popeye - in 3D! But this looks great! Could be a great new gameplay device where tilting the camera reveals new details and secrets to a level. For instance secret power-ups, coins, hearts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah, it's similar to the program that that Chinese-looking guy made in which he put the wii-remote on his forehead and the image moved for him. Maybe they gave him a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hautlle Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Looks cool. Waits for Virtualboy reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Echo Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Its not head tracking btw, it just uses cameras to detect when its being moved. Moving your head doesn't change the display, only moving the DSi does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Well, yeah, but it's the same principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chunky Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 wish theyd do a Nintendo DS - Detachable Screen so you can chuck the top screen in the bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomeperson Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Rumors say there'll no longer be a gap between the two screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah, it's similar to the program that that Chinese-looking guy made in which he put the wii-remote on his forehead and the image moved for him. Maybe they gave him a job. yea, exactly. good call. would be very cool and def keeps nintendo a step ahead of everyone again. sony is about to launch their wii copy and would be cool if nintendo could perfect this and explore it further in the wii 2.

Joyrex Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWAg1s7xfz0 Theoretically works like this. That's amazing. Neat feature if it could be implemented into a real game. Yeah, it's similar to the program that that Chinese-looking guy made in which he put the wii-remote on his forehead and the image moved for him. Maybe they gave him a job. He actually works on Microsoft's Project Natal motion controller now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah, that's the first thing that came to mind. What an incredibly terrible system that was. Strapping it on was basically the equivalent of praying for a grand mal seizure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I don't think it was ever meant to be "strapped on", but the Angry Gamer Nerd certainly tried: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
