What Is The Nintendo 3DS? It may look like a Nintendo DSi and play DS games, but the Nintendo 3DS is the first in a new portable product line. The device has much more graphical power under its hood than the Nintendo DS line of handhelds, resulting in graphics that rival those of its console counterparts. The 3DS also, as the y1 game name implies, is able to play games in 3D, and without the need for the player to wear special glasses.

When viewing games in 3D, 400 columns of pixels are dedicated to each eye. The 3DS features three cameras.

One eye sees one image, the other eye sees a slightly offset version of the same, which produces the illusion of depth to viewers of 3D movies and television. The technique is known as stereoscopy. The 3DS uses a technique called autostereoscopy to deliver 3D images without the use of glasses. The upper display of the 3DS features a parallax barrier, a thin layer of material featuring a series of precision slits. These slits allow each eye to see a different set of pixels, delivering the offset images without the use of filtering glasses. The main drawback to this process is that the distance between the user and the screen plays a part in how well the 3D images are perceived, as opposed to a glasses-based 3D solution where the player can view the effect from any distance or angle. The 3DS comes with a depth slider control that should help fine tune the action between player and screen. When Does The 3DS Launch? Japan is getting the 3DS first on February 26, 2011.
