Wired sez:

Konami is producing a version of its hit PlayStation 3 game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

I'm no MGS fan, but I know something is wrong here

 

Wired sez:

You can only see the 3-D effect if you’re looking at the 3DS screen straight on, although there’s a good amount of fudge factor there — you can move the unit around quite a bit and still get the effect. It’s not as if you have to hold your hands in the exact perfect place. If you tilt the unit away from your face so it’s almost at a 180-degree angle, you can still see the 3-D effect. If you tilt it left and right, you’ll lose the effect and the picture will go smudgy, like what happens when you remove your glasses during a 3-D movie.

So you can still see the 3D images even when the unit is almost completely facing away from your eyes? That is ASTOUNDING.

I think if you saw those rumors about the tech it would use, it's like if you had different vertical lines tilted so they're directed to a single eye.

Nonono

Imagine that a circle can be segmented into 360 degrees. Half a rotation is 180 degrees, so if a 3DS was rotated this much away from your eyes, you would not be able to see the screen, and I assume neither the images created by it.

It would be spectacular if this thing could project images onto particles of air, however.
