The patent describes a system of multiple screens and real-time recognition of any panels' Z-axis orientation ... interesting

It could potentially solve the lack of dualscreen, but few people would buy a new system (or even a new version) for VC.

Thx  exactly this. Why not just a single screen with good power and thats it. Oh nintendo. You will always be nintendo.

Sounds like a good gimmick for a local multiplayer (multiple consoles) party game. But other then that...

This from what we see has nothing to do with more demanding games but rather curiosities.  It's likely nothing in all honesty.  Similar to the oval screen device patent.  Probably something they came up with and patented more or less to keep in their back pocket.  Lots of companies do that.  

That looks neat! I thought it was a folding smartphone

Looks like it's Switch multiplayer without the joycons...

Looks like 2 switch tablets, held up against one another, and the "angle" of one with say a ball, will effect how it rolls down towards the 2nd one.

This is gonna be used for party games right? between switch owners.
Atleast thats what I got from looking at it.

Maybe the "idea" of being able to old up 1 swtich tablet to another, and "push" something on 1 switch screen, over to another's switch screen can be used for something usefull.... but im just not sure what atm.

Likely another way for multiple Switch units to connect.

Could potentially be some kind of multiplayer game... As with many patents nothing may come of it, but I'm certainly interested in what they're thinking here :D
