Glasses-Free 3DS "Autostereo" Screen
Nintendo games have been very popular with kids of all ages. With a year of gaming under his belt, the Nintendo DS keeps our four-year-old gamer quite entertained while mom shops.
Introduced in 2011, the 3DS included a front camera to add the gamer's face into the scene, a rear camera for 3D photos and the Circle Pad (top) for more game control. Like all DS models, the top screen shows the action, while the bottom is used for configuration. Visual depth is adjustable (see parallax 3D and 3D visualization).
