“The concept is very interesting. I’ve always been sceptical about 3D TV and cinema technologies that require you to wear glasses. The great thing about 3DS as I understand it is that it uses lenticular technology I first saw at Cambridge University in the early 1990s which doesn’t need glasses or anything special. The screen is designed to send a slightly different image to each eye using microscopic triangular lenses on top of each pair of pixels. The gamplay software renders each screen from a slightly different viewpoint so it looks 3D. Obviously the new machine is something that Frontier will look at seriously from the point of view of supporting it.” – Frontier’s David Braben
