| uno said: Why would you need the video to be on the lenses of the glasses? The video shows how all you need are two cameras on either sides of your head. He puts on a pair of regular glasses with cameras mounted to the sides. This is MUCH cheaper than an old school Virtual Boy. |
but that doesn't give you true 3D in any meaningful way. It would certainly make a game more immersive...but it relies upon you moving your head to get any effect. Still..it would be pretty cheap.
The best way to get true 3D to the masses is a pair of glasses with a different inbuilt video screen for each eye (although that technique also has the drawback of not allowing you to see your surroundings unless you take the glasses off).
The major problem would be getting a decent quality product at a mass market price. I can't see it taking off unless it's priced under $100 including software..and for a half decent quality you'd likely be looking at double that.
Personally I don't think it will happen...but it wouldn't be a bad idea...especially if Nintendo could encourage movie studios to release Wii 3D specific versions of their movies. It would be a good way of of countering Natal/Arc hype with the mainstream media.
