3DS is capable of 3D video chat

[Say Whaaaaa]

Every time they add a feature the price goes up by $10

seems pretty useless.

I would love to see that.

How can you do 3D video chat if there is only one front camera?

And, who gives a *censored.2.0*? Isn't regular video chat enough? I don't see what 3D could possibly add to a video chat.

Tsk, tsk, Jeremy. Don't you read the other posts in a thread before posting?

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.

By and far, one of the most interesting features I have yet to read about regarding the new DS. Unfortunately, it comes out in March of next year (so is said, though I think it'll come out earlier).

No, it will come out by March 2011. That means it can come out anytime from now until then.

I think it would be cool to have a video chat feature. I dunno about the 3D though.

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

Smartest comment in this thread.

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

The 3D pops out, just like any other 3D... How would it even be possible for it to go "deeper into" the screen? XD

And it's not possible to capture the 3D effect in video, so that's why you haven't seen it yet. You'll have to wait until you can see one with your own eyes to experience the real 3D effect yourself.

And I have no idea what you're trying to say at the end there...

deeper, similar to a window effect, is how I was thinking.

I figured that was why

the video chat would be possible, but only via the two cameras on the front/top of the system, the side opposite the screen, meaning video chat would be possible, but you couldn't look at the other person face to face... without a mirror or some other elaborate scheme :/

*edit*

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.

this.

They said something about parallax barrier display. They actually did catch it on video and it looks like it would make you really dizzy unless you get it in that "sweet spot".
And the 3DS looks like it's going to be a big hit when it comes out. :0

I can already sense that 3D is going to be the new thing that everybody has to have in the coming years... Imagine walking down the street and having billboards attacking you xD

the technology in the 3DS is limited to small screens atm, it'll be awhile before you see big screens in 3D with no glasses

Thank you for *censored.3.0*ing my eyes.

How does the 3DS work? I haven't been researching it since I don't want/need one, but I'm interested in the technology it uses for the 3D effect.

Oh god, I think I love you.
