Hardware Sharp releases 3D screen, no glasses required

[Overlord Nadrian]

Awesome, but didn't we already know it wouldn't be the kind of 3D used by the DSi?

Also, I feel bad for Rayder

Poor guy...

There would be more health and safety regulations for this.

Specially for unlucky souls with epilepsy.

Well then, it looks like the DSlite will be my last hand held after all. If they're gonna use some magic screens that require both eyes to see the 3D image, then the 3DS will be useless to me since I only have one eye to see with.
Not all games will be in 3d , some games will used the extra power ( I hope they have)

ha !!!! I was right my friend did not believe me , he keep putting that stupid video about dsi ware on me .... ha!!!!

this sounds sweet

3d movies on the 3ds

BTW, @Rayder: if you keep your eyes away from the screen for more than 30cm or something, it won't have a 3D effect anymore, so you could still play then. Also, as KingVamp said, not necessarily all games will use the 3D effect.

Although it doesn't confirm anything, this is what Nintendo should have given us before doing little upgrades like the DSi.

I hope Nintendo utilizes the screens from Sharp and not some stupid gimmick up their sleeve >_>.

 

[Pcygigas]

sounds great,
but wouldn't this make the handheld cost even more now?

I think you can turn off the 3D effect.

i think this is just amazing,,
like i never thought id be experiencing this so early in my lifetime like didnt yesterday we had to wear those blue and red glasses that like removed all the color and gave us a headache..
im just ...flabbergasted

... does anyone else find this amazing

Its not holographic technology so I don't think it's that amazing. 3D technology isn't new at all. The way Sharp is doing it is new, but its nothing to get excited about. It seems gimmicky IMO. I mean, will it really add anything to DS games in terms of gameplay or will it just deliver the same types gameplay with a '3D effect'?

I'm more interested in the additional 3D processing power the 3DS is supposed to have and any other improvements. And I'm more worried about possible 'DRM-like' features Nintendo might implement on top of what they've implemented in the DSi.

But but but I'm saving up for an iPad.

Lets see how good these Sharp 3D screens are.

Why would you want an Ipad?

Yea, because most of us want to replace our giant screen TV's that run 1080p with a device that isn't even wide screen or 720p. My current TV is a 32in CRT with 1080p looks amazing because it has a infinity viewing angle doesn't matter where site, ipad not so much.

Can't wait for E3, it's in june right?

I'm curious as to why Dragonlord hasn't posted here, still claiming that this technology is "impossible", and that it would never work in real-life application.

 

[zuron7]

Isn't 30 cm too short.
I'm like almost 20 cm away from the screen and I'm sure the effect will fade as we go out.

 

[Retal]

Sure is incomprehensible machine translation in here. I expected better from Costello, not least of all for being French.

 

[CrimsoniteX]

I was kinda thinking the same thing to be honest...

 

[bobrules]

30cm short? Uh... I think you need a ruler.

 

[Sarvesh50]

Mwa 3d super casual
o.O 3d pokemon would be nice xD
Idk but i dont think nintendo is going to win against apple and sony

another source here at Boston.com. The source indicates that Sharp's screen will feature FWVGA resolution (480 x 854 pixels), 500 cd/m2 luminance, and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. Note that again, it doesn't mean that the 3DS will be using that specific model or even be using Sharp's screens.

Couple of interesting things with this. First contrast ratio is almost double on these new screens. Double that of the DS/DSi screens, so we are looking at far better true black levels, and screens capable of more clear reproduction of dark and light shades, and wider vewing angles. (Atleast for 2d)

Second thing, if the sharp screens are to be used, comment on the sharp screens is that objects wont appear to -pop out of the screen-, like some people assume, but rather these screens give depth to distance .. So I guess the way we perceive a wall to be behind a coffee table, but don't expect things anything to appear -out- of the screen at all. Pretty much, closest point of depth perception looks to be at physical screen level itself with 3d effect giving layered distance and depth behind an object there after.

Quote"However, the main difference concerns the image depth. Actually, on either Sony or Panasonic’s 3D TV, the image would emerge from the screen… But on Sharp’s mobile 2D / 3D LCD, the image provides a great sensation of depth without making you feel as if the image is coming out from the screen."

I can vouch atleast in so far as the glasses variety of new HD TV's that objects are perceived OUT of the screen and into your face. (Like "woah".) Looks not to be the case with this, but it's still going to give a pleasant effect.

12.7cm (5 inch) diagonal (maximum)? It's possible that they're going to make a 3DS XL.
