3D televisions
dre-w:
Does anyone else here think that they're taking a step in the wrong direction with the 3D televisions..? I mean Nintendo gets it, look at the 3DS
No need for 3D glasses using autostereoscopy, almost as if the 3D is basically reversed.. all depth perception and layers, as if you're looking out a window. Why can't they make a 3D television like this, why does everything have to be popping out and so in your face? I would love to watch 3D television shows, football games, etc. without having to pay hundreds of dollars for goofy glasses to watch my tv. Leave it up to Nintendo to pave the way.. Nintendo Televisions? I'd buy it.

Except that the technology Nintendo is using only really works when your straight in front of the screen and a set distance away (theres a slider on the 3DS to adjust that distance), so it would never work for televisions. I find it funny that Nintendo added accelerometers to the 3DS since tilting it will ruin any 3D effect, so games will have to choose between using the accelerometers or using the 3D.

Or just tilt at your waist instead of your wrists.

Which makes for lightning fast controls :)
The joke I used to make at my last job (where I was developing a 3DS game) was that they should ship it with a headset that attaches the 3DS in front of your face, so you have to tilt your head to tilt the controller and it keeps the 3D screen at the perfect range.
My guess is that the 3D effect will be cool for a little while, but once the novelty wears off, most people will just turn off the 3D and play the games in 2D mode.

Of course every game should be playable whilst lying down and also require lightning fast reactions!
Here I was thinking that developers would employ adaptive design to work to the consoles strengths
Instead of combining these technologies, I think you are right they should only use them exclusively ;)
