Registered 12 years agoSo, now Digital Foundry is suggesting the parallax barrier method . They have posted this link (for the lazy one):

Maybe I'll have to buy a new TV after all...

Registered 14 years agoNintendo patented 3D in 1979. FACT. -
Not until Nintendo prove it's successful, no. -

A patent doesn't prove that Sony have been working on a 3D handheld. -

Registered 12 years agoSo, three competing scenarios are slowly shaping up:
1) webcam-based head tracking for viewpoint detection.
Basic mechanism: provides illusion of 3D through viewpoint changes
Pros: cheap (no need to change tv, all hardware basically there)
Cons: single person, may need you to wear a light bulb (or a wiimote) on your head
2) stereo images entirely generated within the monitor (e.g. parallax barrier)
Basic mechanism: illusion of 3D through stereoscopy
Pros: no need to wear glasses, or bulbs over your head
Cons: single person in constrained positions, expensive monitor, forced stereoscopy may be bad for your health (tiring, nausea, etc.)
3) stereo images generated with the aid of shutter glasses
Basic mechanism: illusion of 3D through stereoscopy (like before)
Pros: less expensive monitor upgrade (60Hz for stereo imaging at 30Hz, 120Hz for stereo imaging at 60Hz), multiple users, less constrained positions
Cons: need to wear glasses, same physiological (negative) effects
In summary: 1 and 2) probably best for handelds, 3) better for a home with multiple people -

Registered 15 years agoAll that tech will never be in a handheld.
Picture a handeld gamecube with two touchscreens and I think you'll be not far wrong. -
I personally greeted the news with more than just two wanks. -
3D with glasses is one thing.
3D without glasses is another thing.
I'm interested to see the developments in both fields. -
Stop sitting on the fence, FFS, this eurogamer. -
Hehe, ecu speaketh the truth. -
