3DS to use 3D camera? From Sharp?

That is what I am interested in.

But what would a 3D camera bring that a regular camera wouldn't? I only see augmented reality in 3D as the actual differentiator here.

And if the 3DS uses the layered 3D for its screen tech, will the footage from this camera even be compatible for showing? Regular 3D footage isn't compatible with these types of screens to my knowledge, so augmented reality in 3D might not even be possible.

If it can suck in 3D, producing the 3D on screens would be easier, no?

How they make it work is for them to figure out.

There is just a fundamental difference between the two. The camera records two different pictures which are displayed in turn to provide the 3D effect, where as the screen shows parts of the same picture in different layers to provide the 3D effect. There is a pretty massive difference in structure between the two.

Not sure where you got your idea with regards to the DS's screen but this sounds more like the former than the latter.
