3DS Makes Nintendo World Users Dizzy, Fatigued

[Blaze163]

To be fair Nintendo thought of all this in advance, that's why we can switch the 3D effects off, right? I'm buying my 3DS when it's available because with the effects or not, it's a great looking system with a decent game library on the way. If I find the 3D harmful, which I seriously doubt, then I'll just switch it off. Either that or I'll just play DOA Dimensions with the effects on. That way I'll start to subconsciously associate 3D effects with bouncy bewbs, and I won't be able to complain about them

I really hate how people are so paranoid, especially with new things.

Remember when the Wii came out people complained about getting hurt from Wii Sports and breaking their TVs...

Sure it's possible some people can experience minor effects but it's not a big deal at all.

Conclusion from this entire thread:
Haters gonna hate.
Fanboys gonna be fanboys (wait that didn't sound right)

To be fair the whole 'wiimotes breaking tvs' thing wasn't paranoia as such, it was the result of an endless supply of brainless fucktards who were too stupid to grasp the concept of the wrist strap Nintendo thoughtfully provided. And the concept of grip. And the concept of thought. That's not paranoia, it's natural selection getting warmed up.

A few minutes of 3D = Dizziness??? How?? 3D movies which are 2 hours+ long never gave me a headache...or is 3DS games 3D totally different? -_-

You have to allow yourself to acclimatize properly. It's like any other muscle that you're pushing in ways not used to--never exercise? Jump in place on your tip-toes for two minutes straight, you'll feel it the next day.

3D TVs - omg awesome new technology
3DS - nope

when i got my N64 i played mario and waverace and turok for days non stop and felt magic.
I then got turok 2 and zelda and turok 2 especially made me vomit, i would become really dizzy and ill and just throw up! I used to laugh about it back then but i played turok 2 the other day and was fine untill i ran around a lot of corners then the sickness took me again! Now i am more aware and older, i have realized it is from the way the textures stretch when you move and turn around. Very stomach churning.
but every other N64 game is fine(turok 3 also=sick)
Developers will get used to what works and what doesnt very quickly, mid-year games will be on another level to launch titles, hopefully only some 3DS games make me ill and not all.

Don't worry in 6 month they will release the 3DS Lite, smaller and with no 3D.

 

[EJames2100]

They just said they felt dizzy after a few minutes and the amount of hate they've got off about 5 posts is astounding, sheesh.

Something you'll need get used to, can't really compare 3D cinema to 3DS, since one has glasses and the other doesn't.

actually the wrist straps broke cos they were cheap at 1st

 

[craplame]

I won't be playing in 3D a lot, I suppose.

 

[Master Mo]

I don`t see how this is a problem. People who cannot stand 3D for too long or at all always have the ability and option to turn it off (or adjust it to their liking in some cases).

It`s not like there isn`t amazing software coming for the system, that the 3D-capability is the only selling-point...

Haha, yeah it wasn't the best example, but I was just trying to explain how people are afraid of new things.

The media always exaggerates. So probably they are a bunch of sissies (and have to be thrown in a vulcano, like TM2-Megatron said), but you should also realize that the 3DS don't use glasses. So your brain has to work a lot harder.
Wikipedia - Autostereoscopy

autostereoscopic (glassless 3D) display
This stands literally in the topic...


Parallax Barrier
As Wikipedia says, there are multiple ways of using autostereoscopy. And the 3DS uses the Parallax Barrier way.


On that page, there isn't really much information. But what I could find, is the next sentence:
QUOTEIt is also being used for the navigation system in the 2010-model Range Rover.

I think that Nintendo did some research for this, and if there were any complaints about the 3D Navigation System for the Range Rover, they should have known.

Another reason could be, that there was something at the event. Maybe there* was very loud music, or the lights were to fell.


And if that isn't true, or if it doesn't make any sense, then TM2-Megatron is probably right.

Spoiler

* Maybe there--> There

Surely they would have picked up on these issues during the testing process?

 

[Shinigami357]

LOL, Nintendo issued all these cautionary warnings and stuff months ago and now people have a brouhaha over it. That's so genius, like if I told you shooting yourself in the foot hurts and you blame me after you try it.

PS

Can't believe some people have such weak optic equipment (eyes) that they get sick after a few minutes. Hmmm...

 

[basf11214]

Won't comment on the ocular stamina of the gamers mentioned, but I can say for sure that I won't be using the 3D mode unless I must. I have bad posture when I play handheld games and having to keep my eyes/face within a certain prescribed range of distances from the 3D display is really not my cup of tea.

It is also being used for the navigation system in the 2010-model Range Rover.

It's not used for 3d in the range rover, it's used so the passenger can say watch a movie or mess around with the hifi, while the driver sees the GPS or front or rear cameras. Still very cool.
