Not sure how 3D on the 3DS works? Let Hoagie from Day of the Tentacle explain.
While some of you may already know the technical background behind the 3DS’ glasses-free technology, this video is still worth watching, because it gives you a few great examples of “cross-eye” 3D (including game footage), instances where you can cross your eyes while viewing two images to form a third, 3D picture.
A warning, though: too much cross-eye hurts, which is the price you pay for getting that 3DS effect without the 3DS.

Friday, August 13, 2010 at 7:21 PMSomeone should have filmed the 3DS with two cameras 3 inches apart, which would have picked up both images. Then, people sitting at their computers could actually see the 3DS in action by proxy.

Doesn’t matter how they record it, if you want to see the 3DS’s 3D properly, you a 3D output at your end.

In other news I was expecting Hoagie and was palmed of to this inferior substitute.
