3D on the Wii

[betabob2000]

I am talking about television as an evolving technology that, over the years, has aspired to be as similar to reality as is possible, and the addition of depth to tv and games is just one more step in that direction.

At any rate, that is not the point of this thread. I am telling you, absolutely 100%, that the wii has the capability to output in 3d to my LGLW5600. I know 3d well when I see it. This is not just "3d worlds" as you said. It is 3d as in is has the capability to display things that look like they are coming out of the screen, or far off in the distance, using stereoscopic images rendered from different angles.

and if you believe that color on television is a fad or a gimmick, then we have a fundamental disagreement, and there is no point in discussing it further. I can not agree that color is just an unnecessary fad

And I am talking about these technological advancements are simply unnecessary for entertainment purposes. For anything else otherwise though, as I mentioned very briefly, such advances could have life saving uses some time in the future.

True enough. That small discussion was quite the tangent.

To create a 3D image for a 3D TV, the Wii would have to render everything twice, once for the left eye and once for the right eye. The software would have to be written to do that and the hardware would have to be able to generate them fast enough and be able to output them in a format recognized by 3D TV's. The Wii does not do this. Why would the Mario Kart programmers write double image generation into the software when the hardware itself can't do the rest? What I believe you are seeing is an unusual visual artifact that ends up looking similar to things designed specifically for 3D, but it's not something the Wii is doing on purpose.

That wouldn't help since the video would be 2D.

Wintastic. Now all we need is smell-o-vision, and we've got Futurama technology nearly a thousand years early.

But really, why is a ton of awesome shit going on sale in 2012? You're just asking for your sales to be ****ed by the crazies who believe in timed apocalypse scenarios and the like.

Unless its filmed with a 3D camera.

If theres no proof in OPs next post this thread will be locked
