Skip to 3:00. Wii can already do 3d on normal TVs. You swap the wiimote and the sensor bar around. Some rumours have suggested the controller can act as a sensor bar. Combine that with a camera on the TV. It's like the opposite of the 3DS 'sweet spot'. |
So, let me get this straight:
#1) The effect in this video is achieved without any special screen or lenses, just a camera by the TV, IR sensors and the naked eye (the glasses in the vid are for mounting the sensors only).
#2) Kinect hacks already show similar types of head-tracking techniques.
#3) This video was from 2007, and...
#4) The alleged Ubisoft emloyee's statement specifically states that the new controller's built-in screen and camera play a crucial role to Nintendo's new hologram effect.
Now why would people have to stare through the rumored controller's screen when this video clearly doesn't require that? Perhaps Nintendo has found a way for everyone holding this new controller to essentially share the same holographic illusion with its newfangled tech. I'm not saying these rumors are 100% true either, but how can people be so quick to dismiss the possibility of this?
