Nintendo's 3DS - 3D Game Play
Nintendo just came out with a hand held game system that uses a stereoscopic 3D display that keeps users from having to use the 3D glasses and still have the 3D effect. You can even choose how much of the 3D effect you would like to have, if any at all, by using the slider on the side. Also, the game reacts to movements with built in gyro and motion sensors, much like the ipod touch, to give the gamer more interaction with it and keep them on their toes. It has the option to play older games as well, although they will not be displayed in 3D, and they have given the user the option of taking pictures in 3D with a camera, that is there are two cameras used to take a single 3D picture. This technology is neat as it improves its uses by how we see with our eyes and has come a long way from having to use glasses to see 3D on 2D screens.

3D TV Replaces 3D Glasses
Nintendo has introduced a new technology that I believe will, eventually, replace Hi Definition televisions of today. They have come up with a way to make their Nintendo 3DS in 3D without the need to wear the glasses. Besides not having to wear those dorky glasses anymore, another benefit to having a 3D TV will be that it won't matter where in the room you sit to watch the television you will still be able to see it in 3D as if you were sitting in front of it. A barrier is used on the screens creating stereoscopic effect that is unique for each eye as each one views things differently. Only thing is you need to take breaks every hour, which should be done anyways, to be sure you don't get headaches or motion sickness, - so, those all night marathons wouldn't be as much fun I'm sure. I'm not sure I'd want a 3D TV all the time though, it is neat in the theaters, but having things jump out at you when you are just walking by the television might scare the mess out of someone, would be a good laugh though.
