Nintendo has filed a patent with the US Patent Office for an eye-tracking device that will allow for 3D viewing on a standard 2D display.
The device works by having the user wear glasses – possibly with the focus on mounted sensors as opposed to special lenses – and a camera which is placed by the TV. The user’s head movement is then tracked by the camera to give the illusion that displayed objects exist in a three-dimensional space and provide a sense of depth to the image.
Strangely, notations in the patent also explore other possibilities for an immersive gaming experience, including the sense of smell and temperature control.
