Gryph Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 I don't understand how he ties together Nintndo and George Lucas. Those are two completely different things that the writer tied together to make an article that has literally no grounds to even be remotely true. That's like saying that because Nintendo is developing new features for the Revolution, and Ben & Jerry's is making an all-new ice cream flavor, the Revolution will taste like ice cream.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>He mentioned George Lucas because he is one of the people trying to make cheap 3D projectors which is something Nintendo would need. I doubt there is a direct connection though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoRd_SnOw Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 im wondering by projector do they mean it will aim towards a wall and you can play your next-gen mario game. or a projector in which you don't need a wall and it will be self projected. like one of those star wars movies. a better example would be halo. when that cortana chick is projected, would it be like that?

Supposedly it would be like spy kids 3d as in projected on a screen and the colours and stuff look 3d due to a device making an illusionary 3d effect,the thing in halo you talk about is a holographic projection and the only one in existance i think is in an airpot and cost $1 million dollars, there to expensive to make but hella cool if done.Supposedly Edited April 28, 2005 by Aoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aoshi Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 you've never played SEGA's Time Traveler. a 3d holographic game from days gone by. they had one of these at an arcade I used to frequent as a lad. the game sucked but the hologram was amazing. That is a closed hologram meaning it is only able to be seen in a cabinet that is blackened with glass and mirrors, the hologram lord snow is talking about is a nearly impossible thing to create, like the concepts of ones seen in halo or those yugioh monsters. Idoubt nintendo would use a cabinet for there system and open hologrms are to expensive, so it must be a 3d thing like in those movies friday the 13-3D, spy kids 3D, jaws 3DBut this is still speculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Most of us on 4chan called it bullshit. So thus far, it is bullshit. Although it would bt kind of nice to have a built in VGA adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
