Will the NGP be 3D?

How the 3D will work?

Anyone who has an iPad 2 will know how 3D elements work on this device. The iPad 2 features a camera on the front side which uses smart software for head tracking. The software processes the position to your head to make the illusion of 3D. A similar technique was used on the Wii during its early stages. This led to Microsoft hiring a hacker to create the Kinect.

Surprisingly, the NGP also features a camera on the front like the iPad 2. Although there are no guarantees, it is highly possible that developers will be using this camera for head tracking while gaming. Especially since it has more than enough processing power to handle 3D capability, so we should be seeing tech demos eventually. The nice thing about front camera 3D is that they are universal, so anyone looking from the side will be able to see it, not just the gamer. Unlike the 3DS, a 3D NGP would not cause headaches and strained eyes.

Is it Real?

However, previous interviews with Sony have stated that Sony decided against 3D effects. It seemed somewhat odd that the NGP was not partaking of the 3D buzz, so it looks like Sony has finally gotten smart and added this capability for all the 3D gaming fan. Adding true 3D capability would cause the NGP to become much costlier, so hopefully the front camera technique will be valued at a much cheaper price. Hopefully, Sony will shed more light on the NGP in their upcoming E3 press release.

I dont know and dont care, i wont use it even if it does support 3D.. i cant wait for the system tho. it offers so much!

That would be possible, DSi has a game which I am sure people have seen by now, but it uses the camera to create a 3D effect when you move around. Or maybe you will need special grasses for the NGP.SaltyMeatballs

I thought Sony said they can't get 3D to work with an OLED screen.

Of course it supports 3D, not many 2D games these days....

This isn't steroscopic 3d. I don't think your eyes can correctly view the depth since each eye is seeing the same thing. It also will only work with one viewer. The only indication that it gives of 3d is when you tilt the screen whereas with stereoscopic 3d, you get the 3d illusion without moving the screen/your head.

In a perfect world, the answer would be "no."

No, thank goodness. Unlike the 3DS, the NGP will not rely on gimicks to get people to buy it. It will marketed as a portable PS3 with additional features taken from smartphones.

well i dont want it ne way since it will cost 299 for a wifi only version 399 for a 3g version and caugh according to gi they have beefed up versions of it to such as one that connects to ps3 for a whooping 799,99 lol

ya ok sony just give us an officail price i m sick of rumors , im starting to believe it will be 399 for the 2g ver and 499 for the 3g and none of the other crap gi mentioned is true

I'd take one of the best screens in the world over some cheap display with 3d.

I hope not.
