Prescription glasses ruin 3ds 3d effect

[KingVamp]

If this is true, the 3DS will be a major flop.
No, it just wouldn't be as good as it could have been.

QUOTE(SPH73 @ Feb 8 2011, 09:35 PM) I kinda expected this as glasses ruin 3D movies for most people as well.

But the thing is I saw many people wearing glasses and playing the 3DS both at E3 and the NYC event.

Go figure?

Orly? Well good then.

Won't know until I try, as I wear glasses as well.

This is a statement from one person. As much as the 3DS has been play tested at this point, you would think the issue would have been brought up before hand, if it universally does not work with people wearing glasses.

Agreed. Nintendo would not have overlooked something this obvious.
Plus, just switch to contacts.

Exactly. Doesn't Iwata have glasses too?

I wouldn't expect them to make a system if the developers can't enjoy it...

And

With the massive amount of people having already tested the 3DS on the events, we would have more reports of this happening, a lot more reports.

probably was just like the rumor that it hurt to play

I really just lolled at that pic.

It completely changes the whole topic.

I take my glasses off to play the NDS anyway so...

I doubt that it affects all people with prescription glasses. I mean, look at Satoru Iwata. He seems to be handling the 3DS just fine.

Well, I can see at least 3 feet in front of me. Oh well.
Would contacts work?

Well... I doubt this is a universal thing for the reasons already mentioned above. In this case I'm guessing the minority will just have to suffer.
I'm long-sighted myself so it's not really looking all that good for me. I mean, I wouldn't have used the 3D effect much anyway but I'd have at least liked to try it out here and there on the games I get.
This really reinforces my dilemma... 3DS with 3D as a graphics enhancer - but possibly no 3D for me, NGP with... better graphics that I can actually see.
Looks like E3 will be decision time.

How about a report confirming the opposite?

I played several 3DSs at Nintendo World in January. I wear glasses. I had no problems. And I can tell you there were countless people there who also wore glasses. If this was an actual issue, you would have heard about it weeks ago. I think this guy is either an idiot, or has a very isolated problem, or bottleglass glasses.

I really laughed at this part, though:

I eventually switched the 3D off and played the game as it was originally designed.

Pretty sure the game was designed to be played with 3D on.

ahh, very reassuring. i was frightened when i read the title.

Well on my left eye I can't focus on close objects and it's.. 0.75 if I remember correctly. As for my right, it's got some astigmatism (god I hate astigmatism correction glasses, they make the world look so trapezoid-ish).
But I mean when I go to the cinemas or something, I wear the 3D glasses over my own glasses, and I can see just fine.

 

[xist]

when you got your glasses they should have told you something along the lines of taking off your glasses when using a computer and reading/etc
ignoring that warning is a good way to ensure you are going to be shelling out for thicker glasses each year for the rest of your life

That is just scaremongering rubbish....

If his is true I'd say it's very very rare. I know plenty of people with glasses who have no problem with 3D, but my mother has always complained that they are un-watchable, blurry and painful. I always thought she was just being awkward but this makes me think again.

Hideo Kojima can't stand games and doesn't play them. I'm sure Nintendo have a different culture but there's no need for devs to play the games.

It seems their glasses-free 3d contains alot of flaws.
So i would not say that 3d without glasses is very complete.
Maybe in a future revision they will get it better.

I wear glasses and I'll wait till I actually play the 3DS myself before agreeing to some idiot on the web.
