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.
