Re: Nintendo 3DS
Well I have built my own parallax barrier, and I can tell you it looks pretty good. I imagine the 3DS screen should be a good deal better than my DIY solution (I would hope so).The_Nephilim wrote:cant wait till get some reviews and see how the 3D looks without Glasses??

Re: Nintendo 3DS
If the 3ds screen has the same kind of screen that the w3 camera (dual backlighting to preserve resolution) it's a decent as it can be with such small device. I think these kind of displays really have their niche!

Re: Nintendo 3DS
I don't think the screen on the 3DS is that advanced. Every reference I have seen always says resolution is cut in half in 3D mode, meaning they are using a standard LCD parallax barrier design.Likay wrote:If the 3ds screen has the same kind of screen that the w3 camera (dual backlighting to preserve resolution) it's a decent as it can be with such small device.

Re: Nintendo 3DS
Yes, the only different with a more classic screen seems to be its resolution, 5:3 800x240 (400x240 per eye) in 3.5".

Re: Nintendo 3DS
I never used a parallax barrier system. I know that in a system that uses glasses, the 3D effect is stronger the farther you are from the screen. Is it the same with a parallax barrier system?

Re: Nintendo 3DS
A parallax/lenticular based system have a close to fixed length where the separation works as it should (closer and farther away breaks separation). The length also depends a little on each viewers interocular distance. Within the usable distance i assume the phenomena with the experienced increased stereoeffect/distance is the same. There can very well be several usable horisontal viewing angles from the screen though. This technique is definitely more suitable for smaller displays like 3ds or stereocameras.

Re: Nintendo 3DS
Well the parallax barrier just displays a left and right view, just like any other stereoscopic method. So with the same content, the 3D effect should be the same regardless of the method employed. However for the parallax barrier system to function properly, the user needs to be within the viewing area. This area is not very large, so it sets a fixed distance where the user must be to the view the 3D effect optimally.

Re: Nintendo 3DS
Played on a 3ds today. Its not bad. First of all, it works. Quite well. The viewing angle is not as bad as some people say. Far better than the original gameboy. I had to delibertalty tilt the machine before it distorted. Ghosting is present, but not enough to worry about. I only saw it when I looked for it.
I suppose what I am saying is, if you look for faults, you will find them. If you just play the game, its pretty cool.
The biggest problem is the fact that on such a small screen immersion is pretty much zero anyway, so the best it can ever hope to be is "pretty cool" I guess the best way for nintendo to act with this would be like it is a non feature. "umm, yea, our console is 3d. durr. Do other people make consoles that aren't?"

True, the immersion still does not compete with a proper PC setup (w/ 22" or larger screen) but it still looks pretty good for what it is.

Re: Nintendo 3DS
Why 22 inch plus? My best monitor is a 19 inch crt, and it's still good.
I think the 3ds will be a bit of a slow burner. People will say "they only sold 15 million, no one likes it." Just like how n64 and gamecube both put nintendo out of business...

Re: Nintendo 3DS
I seriously doubt that. The DS brand is just too huge right now. Even without the 3D screen, the 3DS is enough of an upgrade for everyone to buy one (just like people with the original DS bought DS Lite, then DSi, or DS XL, etc, etc.). Especially with huge titles like Zelda and Mario in the works, the system just can't fail.bobv5 wrote:I think the 3ds will be a bit of a slow burner.

I captured some of the ar-demos. Will be fun seeing what happens with this in the future!

Re: Nintendo 3DS
Thanks for the video Likay. I haven't handed mine to my grand kids yet. But I'm $1000 lighter. I'm looking for good grades on their school reports. Then I'll spoil them. The AR is a really nice feature for gaming. I'm thinking some really creative people will really explore this new tech and expand gaming/ entertainment to new heights. Its gonna be cool.
cheers everyone

Re: Nintendo 3DS
A structure of two aluminiumbars which always keeps the w3 in the ds3 viewing spot. It's not an easy or practical device to play games with, i can tell you that. It worked well for ar-demo though.
