DSiWare Game Tracks Your Face For 3D

The culprit is Rittai Kakushi E Atta Koreda (3D Hidden Images: Found It!). This nifty little DSiWare game, just released in Japan and that goes for only 500 DSiPoints (around US$5), uses the DSi's camera to track the user's face and eye position to generate the illusion of 3D without the need for any special glasses. As the video shows, the effect is quite impressive.

I can't see why not release the camera that came with Face traning & release it in the west .
I don't really see the point of the DSi when theres allready a DS camera attachemnt & the DSi ware should be better serverd on the DS successor thats was allready in development beforfe Nintendo created the DSi

Sorry Pikachu Electron, I own the DSi and I can honestly say I love it much more than the Lite.

Also I think its not the camera tracking the face spook, i think its the outside camera tracking movement thats away from you. I could be wrong but i think thats what it is, because if your face is un-recognised or you hid behind something, the game doesnt just stop.

Having not played the game myself, I couldn't say, but what I read is that the game tracks your face... The article could have been wrong, though...
