Original Post

As long as there are no planet 3DS forums, I propose to use the off-topic section for it. And let me be the first to say here that I like the project. Will the site go more about general 3DS news or more the development side of it?

Good idea. I hope to have a forum up soon. Not entirely sure about the direction of the site yet, but it will probably have its focus on general 3DS news, and an extensive game database, while development will only be discussed on the forums.

http://www.3ds-forum.net/index.php there’s the new forum already!

I expect it to have a lot better 3D effect than the 3D TV:s they have begun to sell. With your eyes 12 cm apart (or whatever) and sitting 3m away from a 40″ TV – how narrow is the viewing angle if wanting to achieve the 3D effect?

I’m guessing the person in the middle and that’s it…

It’s my understanding that, unlike the 3DS with it’s auto-stereo display, all 3-D TVs currently on the market make use of some kind of eye-wear, which would mean the viewing angle for 3-D is the same as that for 2-D (which is quite good on high-end panels; approaching 180-degrees horizontal and vertical).

That being said, I have noticed that the apparent depth of a 3-D scene decreases as you get closer to the stereoscopic display, and vice-versa. I would assume the relative size of the screen (for a given viewing distance) causes a similar effect.
