Several months ago, Nintendo filed a patent for a projection system / projector device / image capturing device and program. Today, it was finally made public.

Essentially, the patent involves a projection that can correct itself to the user’s perspective. Here’s the abstract:

“The present invention implements a projection system which appropriately corrects geometric distortion of a projected image even when an object to be projected has an arbitrary three-dimensional shape and a user’s point of view is not fixed. A projection unit (3) of a projector device 100 projects a first adjustment test image. A three-dimensional shape measurement unit (4) measures a three-dimensional shape of the object to be projected. An image capturing device (200) captures the first adjustment test image projected by the projection unit (3), and acquires a first adjustment captured image. A projected image adjustment unit (1) executes: (1) first adjustment processing for, on the basis of the first adjustment captured image acquired by the image capturing device (200), correcting the image such that geometric image distortion is reduced at an image capturing point at which the first adjustment captured image was captured; and (2) second adjustment processing for, on the basis of a state when the image adjusted by the first adjustment processing was projected by the projection unit (3), correcting the image such that geometric image distortion is reduced.”

And some images from the filing:

If you’d like to investigate the patent further, you can view it online here. As always though, patents aren’t necessarily confirmed to be something that Nintendo will use in its products.

Continuing on from his comments yesterday, Yves Guillemot has again spoken about NX. IGN put up more comments from the Ubisoft CEO, most notably of which has him saying that “Nintendo has learned from the Wii U” with its new system.

Guillemot said the following when asked if he views the NX as a step back towards the Wii’s more inclusive approach:

“It’s difficult to answer that [before NX is revealed]. What we see is that Nintendo has learned from the Wii U. All publishers learn from what they do, and then come with something new and more attractive, which I think is the case here.”

Guillemot went on to praise NX’s interface and how the system “will be easy to use for all gamers”:

It’s rare that we make a post about new 3DS themes in North America as they’re typically covered in our Nintendo Download post, but we are making one exception today. That’s because four Sonic themes are out now, and one is even free.

The theme pictured above, which is based on Sonic’s 25th anniversary, won’t cost you even a single penny. In addition to that, SEGA prepared the Sonic series: Boom Style, Sonic series: Classic Style, and Sonic series: Sonic Style themes. Each one costs $2, though you can also pick up a bundle of all three for $5.

Here’s a look at the non-anniversary themes:

We’re a Nintendo blog, so we’d be remiss if we didn’t point out Nintendo’s birthday! That’s right: the company is celebrating its big day today, now that it’s officially September 23 in Japan. Nintendo has been around for 127 years having been established way back on September 23, 1889.

While we remember the big N’s past, we also have our eyes on the future. The company is heading in an interesting direction between NX, the new push on mobile this year, and reaching out into other areas like the Universal Studios partnership. Hopefully we’ll be able to celebrate many more of Nintendo’s birthdays in the years to come!
