Your GIF shows it well, but its still not '3D' - as both eyes receive the same image each frame. ... Interesting thought about using the DS to generate 2 different images - you could build some 'clip on' filter that the user sort of looks into, which would simulate 3D. Now if they released a DS where each screen generated polarised images at different angles - and from memory LCDs always generate polarised light (so one of the screens may need to be at 90deg, and use a controller to flip the pixels?) - you could do it really easily. Any of those 3D glasses that work based on polarised images would do the trick (I think the cheap ones from the cinemas work like that, I'll have to check...). But that *would* be interesting - and the DS would be almost perfect for it. You would have to hold it at a distance such that the images overlaid though - might be easier to add '3D' support to the screens themselves. |
Stereoscopy =/= 3D. Neither methord actually generates anything that is actually 3D. It's all on a 2D screen. At the same time, all of it is 3D in the sense that each point has an x, a y, and a z coordinate. Stereoscopy and this are just two ways to produce the same illusion.
