How Does the Nintendo 3DS System's 3D Feature Work?
Nintendo 3DS
The left and right eyes perceive different images, creating a 3D image. See the Operations Manual for additional information on stereoscopic 3D images.
- The 3D feature can be disabled using Parental Controls in the System Settings.
- The depth of 3D images can be adjusted using the 3D Depth Slider.
- Holding the screen 10 to 14 inches from the eyes, 12 to 16 inches if using the Nintendo 3DS XL, produces the best 3D image.
- On the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, and Nintendo 2DS, viewing the system from a vertical or tilted position will not produce a 3D effect. With the introduction of Super-Stable 3D on New Nintendo 3DS systems, facial recognition is used to ensure that the 3D effect will continue to work if the system is viewed from a vertical of tilted position.
