Whereas previously to view stereoscopic
3D images on a
3DS you needed to keep your head locked at a certain viewing angle, which if broken would cause you to see two
images that confused your
brain and hurt your eyes, the New
3DS uses its top camera in conjunction with a new infrared sensor to locate and follow your eyes for about 60 - 70 degrees either side
of centre, constantly readjusting the angle at which it projects
images and effectively meaning the
3D effect is never lost.
