Experience the 3D effect of 3DS Now… Sort Of
Last month the 3DS’s producer said it would be very difficult to convey the effect of the 3DS without seeing one in action. He’s not wrong, but we tried to do it anyway.
While it isn’t “true” 3D, the image above helps to convey a sense of distance. Try focusing on the distance between the objects instead of the objects themselves.
The 3D effect of 3DS works by showing an image from a slightly different angle to each eye. Unfortunately without a 3DS style screen, it’s impossible to show the effect without glasses. The next best thing we can do is show both images to both eyes, rapidly switching between the two. This can trick the brain into thinking your eyes are seeing separate images. This effect is known as wiggle stereoscopy.
It is far less immersive than would you get from a real 3D image but it works better for some people than others. Does the effect work for you?
Why not try using pictures that require the "cross-eye" method?
@Ash
Good idea. I might try that.
it works good when i blink rapidly with one eye at a time lol
they tried to use that effect for the virtual boy
I looked at the image and blurred my eyes. I got a good sense of depth to my suprise. Only problem is the blur. Good effort!
I'm glad it's working for some people out there
Letting my eyes go blurry worked well for me too.
It looks like Piplup's head is getting squished when I blur my eyes >_O;
hi there 3D works too good for me like 3D avatar looked like 4D and some high end 2D looks like 3D with out 3D glasses i have like super vission
@Ash
Some people can sometimes have a hard time getting the crossed eyes method to work. I have tried everytime I see a cross eyed picture and it never works but blinking with this picture works

Dude..
That makes your eye bleed xP
Cross Eye is so much better than this. And it doesn't make your eyes "bleed"
is that life size picture of 3ds
Make it so the two slightly differant images are posted next to each other. Then I can get close to the screen or even bettter use my bros iPod and mine and put one Image in front of each eye.
@adam
It isn't life size. Well it can be but it all depends on the size of the screen/resolution your using to look at this website.
hi. there. cross. eyes. wont. work. for. me. because. a. am. not. a. humman. gamer. i. am. a. master. chief spartan. 117. a. futuer. gamer. from. halo
It works like Jeremy said. Blink with one eye open, rapidly XD
Still can't wait 'till it comes.
Can't you create an analygraph image?
That would be easier to watch!
the best one for me is the t-rex dinosure at neogaf thats actually a toy packaging or something really makes you think wow imagine the 3DS…..
GO CROSS EYED ANd the "fake" picture is 3D
@Ash because it's not everyone that can cross their eyes
