SI26 3DS-Zine

The Nintendo 3DS

Specs

☻ Screens

Upper screen:

• LCD screen
• 5:3
• 400 x 240 pixels (2 layered screens -> 3D effect using MPO)

Bottom screen:

• LCD screen
• 4:3
• 320 x 240 pixels
• resistive touchscreen (pressure sensitive)

☻ 3D Effect

The upper screen has two superimposed LCD screens. When 3D-effect is active, the two screens slightly shift to the left and right respectively, which creates a 3-dimensional effect. 400 x 240 pixels per screen. The 3D view can be adjusted using the depth slider.

☻ Cameras

The 3DS has 3 camera lenses. One inner camera, and two outside camera lenses able to take 3D pictures.

Regular pictures are in the JPG format. 3D pictures are in the MPO (Multi-Picture Object Bitmap file) format.

☻ MPO

An MPO file contains two JPG images. By reading a MPO file with a supporting device, the 2D JPGS create a 3D image.

A device which does not support MPO cannot open and display the 3D image and may only display a JPG image version.
