Maybe some higher resolution cameras with stereo will give some better depth calculation. Esp with some nvidia AI on board. Or the Depth sensors can make for a far more stable AR. Maybe move the the joycons cameras to the back or have them pivot, as well as being more Hi-res.I The 3DS AR was fun for what it was. I don't think that cpu was best suited for those applications. But something like a switch successor should be able to kill it in this dpt. I wont dwell on the Autostereo screen, since there has been no hint of this in the successor but I do believe that would make for great immersion in regards to Ar.The cameras in the ds and 3ds didn't add much to videogames. The 3d camera was a silly novelty that wore off pretty quickly, even quicker than the console's whole silly gimmick of 3d.
The big problem with cameras is also that they would be terrible compared to the one in your pocket. Even if they picked a decent one today, it would look terrible by mid generation. AR hasn't even found particular success in smartphones outside of Pokemon GO (and even then, the big draw of the game was "catch pokemon on your smartphone with friends, which could have been achieved using gps without ar").
AR and VR constantly get depicted as the next big thing, but while VR makes sense but is still severely limited by today's tech, I never understood AR fans.
The only reason I can see for the camera in the console is a better kinect for Just Dance and party games. Maybe a mode in Mario Kart where you mime driving a wheel and that's it, it's a feature that requires a lot more space than traditional gaming and is very shallow, like most gimmicks. On this very note, I own two psvita and I still don't understand what the point of the rear touch screen was.
Some great looking games on 3DS/N3DS as well to justify that hardware imo. Resident evil revelations looked fantastic.
