Somebody posted a thread recently about 3D LCD screens in a handheld and suggesting Nintendo might put it in the next DS. It wasn't exactly 3D, but a layering of translucent LCD screens to produce several 2D layers. Combine that with integrated, accelerated head tracking as seen in the DSi and you could craft a mighty powerful 3D illusion that the DSi can't do, I reckon. |
If true, that might be way cooler than regular 3D TV with glasses.
I did expect that this meant to be some kind of '3D', but not what you might think first. Otherwise pointless, when you have 3D TV in your living room.

The vast majority of people are not going to have a 3D TV anytime soon.
It actually makes perfect sense to introduce 3D on handhelds first, since it's cheaper and less complicated than getting a new TV, glasses etc...

Probably they won't anytime soon. Still it seems pointless to me, as pointless as trying to brag about high-dev graphics on handheld - that's not differentiation that made DS successful, but rather values and qualities of home consoles reduced to the size of a portable, i.e. fail. On the other hand some form of head-tracking might be interesting depending on software available.
