Topic: Nintendo 3DS screenshots..... in 3D!

Sorry, my fault. I got confused by the "long periods" comment. Can't see too many people staring at cross-eyed sterographs for extended periods. Too painful.

@thewiirocks: Well, there are some videos and sites that seem to be designed for such use, so it's a legitimate warning.

i kind of se it, but it works much better in the smaller youtube thingy than in full screen imo.
crossign eyes is easy too, i do it on a regular basis when im bored.

... my eyes got stuck, now i see everything in 3d D:

To make a 3D picture is not really that hard. Al you need is a subject with proper lighting and colours as well as a camera with which you take one picture slightly more to the left or right than the other, both in portait orientation. If you put them next together after downloading them to a computer, you should be able to get this effect. I tried it out myself yesterday and it worked. It was pretty hard to see, though as the background was to dark during the evening to really notice it. I'm gonna try it again. If I get one that works well, I'll post it here.

EDIT: OK I made a picture of my TV, DVD player and the Nintendo, then took it again 1 or 2 inches more to the left and it definitely works, try it out:

Some of the screenshots had weird layering for me. The Kingdom Hearts, OoT, and some of the RE: Revelations ones were the best when I looked at them.

I never was able to cross my eyes...

Yarah...... That's my Random Slowbro Cry

Because this 3DS is lookeN Awesome

Sigh, I don't even know how to cross-eye at all.

It's not that difficult. Scroll to the picture on this page of the tv case. Next, hold out two fingers, one of each hand. I taught my sister by keeping her hand together. Thumbs nails to the front next to each other and holding out the pointerfingers with the nails to the outside and nuckles of the other fingers against each other and stretch your arm a bit.

First try to squint just enough so that the thumbs fall together. This is a small distance so should be pretty easy. The trick is not the squint full on, but just a little bit. When the thumbs fall together (so you basically see three thumbs right next to each other), lets move on to the pointer fingers. No you have to squint a bit more. If it's difficult to close the distance between the fingers, try stretching your arms more so that the distance between your eyes and your fingers is bigger. A bigger distance makes is more easier to use the cross eyed technique. If the pointer fingers fall together (and you see three), then move on to the picture. Focus on overlapping the Wii's, add more distance if between you and the screen if you think that the distance between the Wii's are to big.

I hope it helps.

Doesn't that ruin the point of the 3DS' ban against glasses?

AAARRGH!! I can't seem to get it!

I did get it to work with the picture in the link though.

They were attempting that, last I heard.

It works a bit. I see the depth where the Wii is.

I watched them using my good old red and blue 3D glasses. It was pretty cool. Can't wait to see these with out glasses and red and blue everywhere!

That Avatar video was stunning, if too low res and low frame rate to fully appreciate it. That is exactly the sort of stereoscopic effect the 3DS will have. This is exciting.

I just get a blurry vision and a headache. >_>

Augh my eyes hurt Dx

that was amazing tho!

I finally got my eyes to see the 3D!
3DS is gonna be AWESOME!

@NintyFan Actually it's exactly how the 3DS will work. It is an "illusion of the eyes" as you said. However, instead of crossing your eyes to make two images appear to overlap, the 3DS will project different images into either eye. It's the same principle, just without the eye strain.

I just used my 3-D glasses from the Monsters vs Aliens blu-ray (had to flip em around though, haha), and it worked pretty well. The Resident Evil, Nintendogs, and Star Fox were REALLY impressive. What's so exciting is that these screens still won't live up to how awesome it will look in our hands, seeing it with our own eyes.
