With more than just 3-D Video Games Nintendo DS in 3D is a Winner
Ask anybody about what company springs to mind when they think of the cutting edge in consumer technology, and you’re likely to hear the name Apple, to be sure. What other consumer technology companies have stood by for decades, routinely bear on the market with great technological innovations and shattered sales records the way Apple has, they are sure to ask you. One hates to quibble, but hasn’t anybody heard of Nintendo? If there is a name out there to adequately represent the excitement children feel in video games, the Nintendo DS has to be it. The regular DS that costs approximately $150, has sold nearly twice as many units as Apple has iPhones. Or how about the Wii? Remember how when it released almost concurrently with the PS3 a couple of years ago, they totally stole Sony’s thunder? However, the Wii really is starting to look at a bit old hat; the Kinect can do everything the Wii can, and so much more; and it can do it with high-quality graphics as well. True innovation has been long overdue at Nintendo now. However, the wait has been worth it. Have you caught a bit of the magic yet that the 3DS, the world’s first device capable of full-color glasses-free 3D motion is full of?
It may just be a tiny handheld game machine that costs an humble $250; but Nintendo has somehow managed to pull off a truly remarkable effort in this. While 3-D TV and 3-D movies are capable of providing us truly pleasurable entertainment, there are always those glasses to concern about. And of course, with both kinds of 3-D experience, you essentially look at the screen as if it were a window in which there was an astonishing amount of depth and that had things regularly flying out. With the 3DS, everything is just right there, right in front of you. Nintendo has somehow discovered a way to send information to each eye separately with no need for glasses.
As long as you hold the device straight in front of you, with video games Nintendo DS, can put out some remarkable depth.
They do warn you that if you have a child younger than seven, 3D may not be the best idea for your child. Obviously, a child’s sense of sight isn’t developed enough to comfortably process all of this. Playing video games Nintendo DS, the 3-D version, doesn’t tire your eyes out in the least. However, gaming is not even the most remarkable part of what this device can do. What is astonishing about it is that it can play 3-D movies and streamed content from the Internet. They have a couple of deals in place with DreamWorks, Disney and other producers of movies for movie versions that will play properly on this device. And even that isn’t completely it. It also includes a 3-D binocular camera that allows you to take 3-D pictures. While the main technology of what makes the 3-D possible isn’t that revolutionary, Nintendo has again taken technology that other companies have access to and produced a unit that no one else could have. And it surely is a must-have.
Nintendo DS is really awesome…
