I thought they've done something like that for the DSi.

It's the same tech you descirbed, if i got it right. For this DSi game, the camera was used like you described to do this 3D effect. I wouldn't be surprised if this tech would be used on a controler like the rumored one.

But there are some problems. Price of this controler? touchscreen, camera, HD, sticks etc, battery, processor for streaming...

I think it could be the revolution of gaming. multiplayer in one room with several (min 4player i hope) displays and an overview on the TV. AMAZING!!!

MArio KArt 3D.....ONLY for Wiitab

Yes, I remember that game.  Something just like that, albeit more advanced.

And yeah, I kinda hope the rumors of the giant HD touchscreen are false.  I mean, it just seems like an unnecessary expense and I just don't really see the advantages of it.  The 3D illusion idea obviously has me far more excited.

Honestly, i don't understand. Wouldn't you need a controler display for multiplayer 3D action? Without the controler display, the 3D would just be a "one person only experience" like on the 3DS.

6inch isn't that giant, or not? It would be the right size imo. not 1080p on these displays, i think that's false. HD on the TV and on the controler a touchscreen with 480p. Fanboys will say 4-ductabed-gamecube, lol.

Well, what I'm envisioning anyway is that since everyone's controller is synced to the camera by the TV, and everyone is getting their own personal head-tracking via the camera on the controller they're holding, each person sees their own illusion of 3D.  Since there obviously aren't really objects floating outside of the TV or deep within it, the interaction process for the game would remain the same for everybody.

It's all just about trickery of the eyes and brain and everyone would have their own sweet-spot view of the illusion as long as their own controller's camera is tracking where their head is relative to where the camera by the TV is.
