The 3D Revolution . . . nintendoish

More on the Nintendo Revolution having stereoscopic 3D capabilities . . . Rumor Control: The 3D Revolution . . . current rumors are that it will somehow have a projection adapter?

This week saw some new rumors about Nintendo’s next-generation console surface. The most interesting of these came from Burgess, who has long-standing ties to Nintendo. In his blog, he reflected on attending the ShoWest conference in March. There, he heard Sin City director Robert Rodriguez mention how he and other filmmakers that are eager to make 3D movies, including James Cameron and Peter Jackson, had become “aware of a game machine beating them to the mainstream 3D market.” Burgess then heard from an “industry pundit” that Nintendo had already shown off a stereoscopic peripheral capable of projecting 3D images at last year’s E3 for the GameCube and was planning something even more advanced for the Revolution. A forum post on the same blog also claimed the Revolution will come “equipped with a short-range wireless mapping camera that will somehow make the software ‘adapt’ itself to [the player’s] surroundings,” presumably to customize the 3D projections. But since Nintendo is saying nothing, there’s not enough information to call this one way or the other.

Let’s see . . . since idependant sources are being cited for this, hopefully it has some weight in actual eventual reality.
