Gaming can you view the 3ds in 3d if you are blind in one eye?

i just want to know

no, because it requires the manipulation of different images (brightness only i think?) as seen from two eyes.

It's not a hologram, so no.

3DS uses autostereoscopy.

Damn, I never thought of that.

This brings into question my wearing glasses.

 

[titen96]

No, 3D does not work for people blind in or missing one eye. Stereoscopic 3D works by making sure two separate images reach each eye. People with one eye can't use stereoscopic 3D cues in the real world either.

Now, if the man is less than blind, that's questionable. Different visual impairments will probably end up being different. You can definitely see stereoscopic 3D with corrective (not 3D) lenses. And you should be cool for autostereoscopy as well. I've seen videos of people using the 3DS with glasses.

No it doesn't work if you are missing and eye [sorry if you are] but there is a switch on the side to turn 3d off so you won't be missing anything besides "popping" graphics if you get a 3ds, it still has the awesome extra RAM and 2 cores and cool games but minus 3d for whoever is well you know...
