Sony's not trying to compete with the 3DS with their 3D
but Nintendo is trying to compete with Sony in the Home theatre market with the 3DS
makes you wonder.

Well, that is quite a logical leap and an astute one. Imagine this:
1. Nintendo 3DS drops in the US during the 2010 holiday season or March 2011 at the latest.
2. Meanwhile, Sony is spending quite a bit of R&D and marketing on their 3D television that require glasses.
3. Consumers buy the Nintendo 3DS in droves, become fascinated with the 3D without glasses, and wonder why Sony is pedaling 3D televisions upwards to $3k
4. The media reports on the Nintendo 3DS ushering in a new, glassless 3D experience.
5. Sony is proverbially screwed.
I see this happening and what this call for collaboration really then is, the worst form of corporate espionage masked under the form of collaboration.
Sony is done.

omg..
Sony is not the only one: the majority of Tv manuf. are all doing 3D TV's
the freakin D@MN 3DS is not built for the Home theatre..there is no way the 3DS is going to have that effect.on the Entire Home Theatre industry because the screen is too d@mn small. which is the same problem for every portable. they are not even in the same target Market.
the simple truth is:
a) the resolution of the Screen in the 3DS is made for portables, not home theatre
b) 3D movies are being made for Home Theatre, yes the 3DS can get portable version's, but the simple truth once again in order to have that 3D theatre experience at home you will still need 3D glasses to experience it.
c) I very much doubt that many if any is going to want to watch the 3DS as their main unit for 3D movies as a replacement for Home theatre.
d) the replacement for a glassless 3D for home theatre is quite a way's off because of several problem's but also, the very fact that its going to be real expensive for screen's 32" and above. any way mean while 3D enable LCD sceen's that use the 3D shutter technology work and they know it will be priced for mass consumer adoption well before any pratical solution of a glassless option that would be anywhere within that price range. Before The Current 3D is well established.

You are missing the forest by focusing on the trees.
It is not how big the screen size is. It is about the technology created to render 3D without the need for 3D glasses. Once this technology is created then it is a matter of refining it and replicating it onto a big screen.
This may take time to replicate on 60 inch televisions, but once Nintendo can show it, then it may have a godly patent on a technology that Sony and every other television maker would be drooling over.

Read up on the technology used in the 3DS screens. Ask the people who make them (Sharp). They will tell you that there is no way this technology in it's current form can be used on big screens, or as someone else already mentioned, on a big screen that more than one person can watch.

dude, Sharp already STARTED PRODUCING 3D glass-free screens for bigger mobile devices, TVs, laptops and PC monitors that will hit the marnet next year so STOP TALKING BS!
|
Sharp produced the first glasses-free (using parallax barrier) 3D notebooks and PC monitors 7 years ago. In all that time of developing the technology what is the largest screen size that they have produced?
Furthermore, later this year they are planning to release their own four-colour 3D LED backlit sets requiring active shutter glasses to compete with the Sony, Samsung, LG etc. If they expected their glasses-less technology to be applicable to large sets (40-60 inches) why do you suppose they have gone to the trouble of developing other 3D technology based on LED backlighting?
If you can show me any evidence of anyone working on large screen 3D displays using any technology that doesn't require glasses I would love to read about it and will happily admit I was talking BS, because I for one hate having to wear 3D glasses.
edit: I have no doubt that we will see large 3D TV without glasses at some point, but I have my doubts how soon it will be and whether it will use the same technology that's in the 3DS.
