No, a standalone 3D camera won't cost $500 now. I said 3DS would by having such camera built in.

So Nintendo is in the photography business. The question on all of our minds now is,

When will the 3DS spit out "3D" pictures like a polaroid camera?

When Nintendo release a portable 3D printer.

You don't need a 3D printer, you just need a regular printer that you laminate with a lenticular lense.

And call it 3D printer to charge premium for it. Business 1 2 3.

" a 3D printer with a laminate with a lenticular lens."

Wow, that would be amazing.  A 3D printed picture should be something you can order.  Cool 3D pictures that you took yourself.  I wonder if they could make a home kit printer kit similar to the ease of the CD labeler kits.  Using your own printer and adding a stick on Lenticular Lens.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

It should be noted that the resolution of 3DS stereoscopic photos are extremely limited (640x480 max), meaning they would look either extremely cropped or extremely blurry on a 1080p 3D HDTV.


3DS photo would be optimized to display on the 3DS. Why would it have to go 1080p? You'd have to spend a few hundred dollars for a standalone camera for something as high as 1080p.

I sure as hell won't buy the 3DS if it comes with 1080p camera mode and cost $500.

The point is you can only view 3D photos you shoot on the 3DS.

The hypothetical situation in which you could view them anywhere else would be entirely dependent upon Nintendo adding the ability to export 3DS photo file format images.

As for why you would want to view them on a higher resolution display (1080p being the current standard, even for current entry level HDTVs and monitors), the question that should be asked is why anyone would want to view their photos on a low res external 3D display.

The only reason why the 3DS doesn't need to shoot 2K images (1920x1080) is because Nintendo presumably doesn't intend for 3DS users to view their 3D photos on anything but the 3DS and its 400x320 display.

And FYI, a pair of 2K cameras wouldn't double the price of the 3DS.

close object still gave depth though, but the further you are, the less noticable.

the t-rex gif up there would correspond to a close object.

So...the T-Rex would be my brother in my fake scenerio?
