3DS is capable of 3D video chat

They wouldn't do that because they have to protect the kiddies

3D Rooster?
olawd.

Wait you mean you aren't restricted to your friends on your friends list?

You probably are, but there are chances that some kid will end up adding someone who's actually a 45-year old man.

And besides, if someone goes naked on a little kid, they're just embarrassing themselves.

That would be pretty cool, but wouldn't there have to be two cameras facing YOU? There are two cameras facing the OUTSIDE.

I'm still confused/not fully understanding...

which way does the 3d go? comes out at us, or goes "deeper into" the screen?

I haven't seen any gameplay videos/videos of people playing the system.. but I'd guess it's hard to capture with a camera

also, 3d would only be possible on the front side, not the side with the screen.. but would be cool to show people stuff in real time

It really goes both ways. It has to do with certain pixels being hidden from one eye and being shown to the other, and also depth of field.

that's imposible. if they have 3D voice chat, it would HAVE TO use the inside camera. but the inside only has ONE camera. the outside camera can take pictures in 3D because it has TWO cameras. make sense?

*Sigh* Why don't people read posts around here?

in that case an extra camera would be added.

(read the comments olo)

Yeah, I forgot about that until I read the comments, too. XD But that doesn't mean it can't do 3D video chat. It just means that it can't do 3D video chat with the inner camera. And while that would be the primary camera you would use for video chatting, you'd likely still be able to switch cameras and show the person you're chatting with what you're seeing, like FaceTime, only in 3D. Whatever happens, the possibility of video chat on the 3DS, in 3D or not, is exciting.

Well then that's your own fault, stupid Nintendo.

Guys, the final design isn't completely confirmed, so it may have two inner cameras

Look:
Final design is TBA.

True, but adding another camera would cost more, these costs bring passed onto the consumer. They'd also have to be spaced apart to be able to create a 3D picture, costing more money creating holes for these cameras. That leaves us without a central camera for taking 2D images with effectively, an impractical option in my opinion. To be fair and realistic, the 3DS is likely to be released before December in Japan, Europe and the US, Nintendo's largest markets, so they'd want to sell as many as possible in the holiday season. This leaves us with around 3 months before it is released in Japan, so if they do decide to do this, it'll be rushed and less well thought out, which noone will appreciate. What's more, the version unveiled at E3 has been seen by tens of thousands of people worldwide, if not more, so this design is now what people expect, so if any changes are to be made, they will be purely aesthetical, and will not change the functionality of the system whatsoever.

As cool as it is, the 3DS isnt well thought out at all,

It has motion sensing capabilities, but the 'window' in which the 3D effect will actually work is supposedly very narrow....

Methinks the 3D was a last minute addition, much like the original DS' second screen.

So the way it does that is by alternating pictures between the two viewpoints so fast that you automatically string it up like an animation ans somehow illusions you the effect of depth?

Well that's what Mega's pic did to me :/ My eyes are kinda bleeding XD

It doesnt alternate. Two different pictures constantly sent to each eye which overlap in the brain, which give off the depth effect.

Well, what I meant is that I think they showed 1 frame of 1 view then showed 1 frame of the other view... and doing that over and over again gives that effect... If it's ever so slightly laggy then it can get... :X

No, the 3DS has two different pictures constantly sent to each eye.

I dont even want to know what mega did.
