Hardware See the 3D-ness of the 3DS!

[granville]

This is pretty neat, i managed to do the crosseye thing. Though i hope it isn't as much of a disorienting effect in the real 3DS, it makes my eyes hurt, which i'm sure won't happen. Thanks for the screens Spinal!

Is this kind of how the real system does the effect?

Yes. Each eye sees a slightly different picture, like it's watching from a slightly different angle, just like how you see the real world. The effect you get is a 3D picture.

Damn it!
I read all of this and I still can't master the cross-eyed thing!

But...
I have 3D Red/Cyan glasses anyways

I'm SO loving this, i never knew you could do this with just your eyes and a specially doubled picture! With this, i know roughly how it works, plus i know it will look less blurry, painful on the real thing! That's real 3D for me! Looks just like i'd imagined it. Here's a really cool video that shows the effect off nicely-


I suggest going there and watching it in HD fullscreen for the best effect, excellent!

EDIT- actually, forget the fullscreen comment, i see why they are having issues making the tech on large screens. The bigger the screen, the crappier the effect seems to get. Small youtube window produces the best result for me.

I have a question.

Does anyone know if the 3D actually jumps out or is it just depth?

The 3DS mixes the two images together and uses a special lens to separate them to each eye. You obviously don't need to do any of this cross-eye stuff when using the 3DS.
The problem with using the 3DS's method on large screens, is that your eyes will see different parts of the screen at different angles so it is hard to get the 3D effect to work right, and to get it to work from different angles, which you would need on a TV.

That would depend entirely on the game I would think. All depends on what the developer wants to do.



[edit]
A good trick that might help those having trouble, once you have 3 images in front of you, slide your left had in front of your left eye from the left. Do this slowly until the left image disappears. Then do the same with your right had over your right eye. If you did that right, you should only see a single image in front of you which should be easier to focus on and yes, you should be able to focus on the image correctly.

It seems to be a bit of both, in goes in depth but brings certain objects out.

Wait, so the image can be seemed to leap out the screen?

Thanks, this is awesome.

I know I can't actually see it, but after seeing the video I can imagine how it might look. Thanks for the great video!

MARIO GALAXY 3 FOR 3DS!!!!! Would be nice...

I love watching those pair............ or images making a 3D.

Actually, the Pikmin scene looked cool. The graphics are already great, add 3D and it would be perfect for me.. Nintendo game + Graphics + 3D = Perfect game

Word of warning after all this cross eyed ness my head hurts a little, or it could be all this hot sun outside

I know I was saying from all the pics u post , I can see the 3D in that the best.

 

[GentleFist]

haha would be cool if the 3ds was using this crosseye crap then everyone walking around with a 3ds would look like a retard xD

imagine a crosseye tv, the whole family sitting like that looking serious as theyre concentrating haahahaha xD

E: getting the image to overlap isnt that hard but its seriously hard form me holding it still so my eyes can focus, after a while my eyes get tired and i cant hold them cross eyed

 

[EpicJungle]

I have a feeling that the 3D pictures will get annoying after a while.

 

[DeltaBurnt]

That's the depth stuff from that DSiWare game, not 3D :\

Also, apparently during the demos you could use the analog stick to make the 3D effect tilt/move the way you wanted it to.
