Nintendo has announced, through a brief press release, it would present its 3DS Nintendo at E3 to be held June 15 in Los Angeles.

The 3D in 3DS
The new console, whose release date is announced between April 2010 and March 2011, has the particularity of using a system for displaying a stereoscopic image, without requiring the user to wear special glasses. If the technical details are still fuzzy, or nonexistent, it is conceivable that the 3DS uses technology similar to that which has been shown to play Ritta Kakushi e Attakoreda, that is to say that the camera always follows the eye of the player to adjust the image and give it a relief, as can be seen in this video game posted on YouTube The same concept was also demonstrated with brio by a student at Carnegie Mellon University who has just used a Wiimote and a virtual office.

The other assumption is that Nintendo uses technology auto-stereoscopic parallax barrier that allows Sharp to display a pixel for each eye, giving a depth effect. However, unlike the previous system, the user can enjoy a relief effect that it is facing the screen.

A new console
Other technical features of the console, we're confident will be compatible with the DSi and DS games, it has a gyroscopic sensor like the iPhone or iPod touch, there will be two screens of four inches and if their resolution is not yet known, are thought to be assembled to manage the 720p (1 280 x 720). The 3DS therefore renounce the system using two separate displays to approach the Courier Microsoft.

Nintendo should integrate two cameras, one behind the other in front of the camera. Rumors also talk of a 3G module for easy downloads and Nintendo have decided to use the NVIDIA Tegra SoC. It also speaks of a joystick for easy game play and a vibrating console that will have greater autonomy and a Wi-Fi module optimized. One thing is certain; the 3DS is not a simple upgrade but a new console in full.
