So technically how does that work?

So of course the nin3DS(er Nintendo 3ds) will have 3-D graphics but how does that work without glasses.a simple and more complex reason would be nice.

In easy terms the glasses are glued on to the top screen for you

It uses a technology called Parallax Barrier.

Each of your eyes is seeing a different set of pixels. The drawback with this technology is you have to stay in the "sweet spot" or the effect greatly diminishes.

The 3DS screens, layered one on top of the other, have lines going through them so that your left eye sees one set of image lines, the right eye another, tricking your eyes into thinking you're seeing depth that isn't really there.

It's all Alien tech man. I saw it on the history channel.

A wizard did it. Sepewrath

Here you go, couldn't find this earlier

The console does use paralax distortion, which is why Nintendo is recommending that anyone who is 6 and under should not play it with the 3D on, as it can damage their eyes.

lets just hope I can see it since I have lazy eye and astigmatism

Apparently some people who can watch 3D movies in the theaters still can't see the 3DS' 3D (a small number of people). I also read somewhere yesterday that sometimes taking off your glasses can help see the effect better. Guess we'll find out more soon.

So I have a question, if there are people who have trouble seeing the 3DS 3D effect would they also not be able to see 3D when using 3D glasses? Because all 3D glasses do is block the layered image from one eye while the image is being displayed in two layers on screen.

LOL, right after I posted this there was an answer to my question above...I guess I'll just have to get my hands on my 3DS on the 27th and see if I'll have any problems with it...hopefully I won't.

The up-side of that being that it could be used as a diagnostic for eye problems....

American Academy of Opthalmology suggests: "If a healthy child consistently develops headaches or tired eyes or cannot clearly see the images when using 3D digital products, this may indicate a vision or eye disorder. If such problems occur, the Academy recommends that the child be given a comprehensive exam by an ophthalmologist."
But kids with conditions such as imbalances in vision and misaligned eyes, would have a hard time seeing the 3D images... they'd probably get headaches or eye fatigue while playing the 3DS thuslydiagnosing these conditions early and making it possible for these kids to get the treatment they so desperately need.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] astigmatism is fixed with glasses, and the use of regular glasses while playing the 3DS doesn't affect anything. but i'm not sure about the lazy eye... i have a friend with a lazy eye, i'd have to ask him if he can watch 3D movies... or better, ask YOU if you can watch 3D movies.BrunoBRS

That'd depend on the vision problem you have... some people can see close-up screens fine without their glasses (or books, newspapers, magazines, ect).
