i am curious for some first hardware and software pics, it’s hard to imagine how it will look. But how far i know nintendo at the present stage this should probably kick ass, i hope so at least….

success is guaranteed! as it will be downwardly compatible

let’s see, it is the first time since 5 or 6 years i am really curious for the E3,

That’s pretty much how I feel about the 3DS. It has the potential to be an amazing, and very revolutionary, system πŸ˜€

I am pretty excited as well, even thinking about creating a website about it. I registered planet3ds.net yesterday. Time might be too sparse in the end, but I am trying to come up with a good concept to see if it can be done. πŸ™‚

i don’t know… there will be a lot of pages about it in the future and i don’t think it will be as special as the VB is…

but maybe you can sell the url for much much dollars, so we can afford some vb proto stuff

πŸ™‚

smart move by ninty, 3D IS the future after all!

cant wait to get my hands on one!

will we see 3D Wii??

(how do i edit my posts?, couldnt see a button/option)

The edit button disappears after a while.

Hope you all like this if you havn’t seen it already. this may be related or similar tech. I found it a long time ago working on wii stuff and just never thought to post it here. I heard that this guy was offered a job from microsoft following this and his other inventions. Even if it is not the same principle… it still has a million implications for 3d gaming in the future. I just don’t think the corporations are done milking the 2d market yet… but just imagine playing space squash.

here also some of this 3d effects on hd television playstation 3

i really like this and think this can really change the game world.

I hope the 3DS won’t be limited to only depth 3D.

That kinda 3D has been around for a long time though… arcade games like Police 911 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4__ssaLrTo ) used it. IMO the part of the 3DS that excites me is the display. We’ve already seen that a plain DSi can change view depending on head position, and there’s really nothing technically challenging about changing the viewpoint… the hardest part is properly tracking the head, which just takes a camera and some software.

BTW, if anyone is looking to do head tracking on a PC, FreeTrack ( http://www.free-track.net/english/ ) works really well (and is free). Just install some LEDs on a hat, glasses, etc, connect a webcam, and go. For better performance, I modified my webcam (removed the IR filter, then covered the lens with the magnetic portion of a floppy to only pass IR), though it’s not necessary.
