http://www.igniq.com/2005/07/nintendo-revolution-deepthroat.htmlI ran into this over at the Nsider forums. It seems that some new viral campaign is going on again. This one seems to be the most believable of all the supposed viral campaigns. It is well made compared to the rest and seems to the first of a series of clues. This could be Nintendo playing off of the speculations they have caused online. They could have seen that there really is no where for us to go with the speculation so they are going to start now to drop hints. Hopefully this is the start of something big and of substance.
Also, there is a thread goin on over at the Gamespot forums

Q: What companies were behind the development of the InFocus™DepthQ™ projector?
A: InFocus® Corporation and Lightspeed Design Group

There you have it people, the first official info connecting Nintendo to this 3d tech. Reading the thread over at the GS forum though, it seems like this could be used for the Rev since this stereo scopic view can be applied to any tv as long as the Rev supports it within its hardware. It requires shades to be worn but one of the posters over at the forum said he has it for his PC and the shades are no bigger than regular sunglasses. The poster that has this tech for his pc says that it can be used on older games as he is currently playing Doom 3 with this. For this tech to work, the game has to run at 120 frames per second (60 frames that the left eye sees, 60 for the right eye) This could be a reason to why Nintendo is avoiding HD in their games, and could also be looking to not make such a huge jump in graphics. Nintendo could be looking into making a moderate graphical leap (not as big as xbox 360 nor ps3 but better than the Gcube) but making a huge leap in visual frames per second. Anyways, this is very interesting and seems plausible.
