This one is for the
3D fans. Fun to wish one last time before the incoming reveal in the next few months, however unlikely it may be. One can still hold out hope.
My wish with Sharp would be to unearth its 3D tech from N3DS and bring it back with the better lcd tech of 2024.
N3DS was still/is impressive, even on its low res screen. Imagine what a resolution bump would do, even if it was to give you 720 per eye at 8", maybe even assisted by dlss.
For the 3D faithfull, the last 2 years at CES have shown us 3D tech from Spatial labs, licenced out to the likes of Acer and Lenovo. Asus spitting out Oled 3D
And even Samsung this year aiming at gamers
With apple trying with apple vision Pro to make 3D mainstream, albeit with a vr headset (sorry spatial computing device
![Unamused face :unamused: 😒](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/1f612.png)
), the idea of stereo being made mainstream by a giant player like them can only be a boost for the medium. The fact that 15 pro shoots stereo video.
Other than that Leia gunning for glasses free crown buying up patents from Philips. They were behind the tech of the ill fated red phone. Tech was immature then, but incredibly more robust in 2024. Also that phone promised too much and failed to deliver. 3D is not what killed it. There current offering the Leia pad 3D looks great. And yes, Leia. You know, like the princess.
Anyway. These are just my observations.. even for those who believe 3D is/was a pointless gimmick or not, its still a viable medium for artistic expression and immersion.
The late Gunpei Yokoi & Satoru Iwata, dreamed of bringing 3D to the masses with attempts from the Nes, virtual boy
, rnd attempts from the GBA and Gamecube. But eventually materialising in the 3DS. Even there were attempts at the wii and I think I read early concepts of what eventually became the switch were still considering 3D. This camera that people once talked about could be about augmented reality. Don't know if some form of lidar was ever discussed.
Side note. I also just realised something. What if there was a peripheral at the time that could have sent 3D from the gc to the gba had the dba 3D been realised as planned, especially since the GC still has all the 3D circuitry still built in. Aside from the 3D screen that was scrapped.
