    Hello guys,

    Here is another patent from Nintendo, related to a potential way of projecting a picture on any surface, even if the surface isn't plan.

    This sounds very interesting, but we can totally wonder how this feature can be used in a video game system, especially in local multiplayer mode (which is a way of playing heavily supported by Nintendo). Also, projecting a picture on any surface which is not plan is great, but these surface also need to have the same light reflexion, as the picture displayed may look bad if it is not the case.

    Anyway, hope some of you can read Japanese :)

    Nintendo is really going towards AR. I am please with that, I don't really like VR helmets.

    I am also really not into VR. Buybif Nintendo is trying something else with AR, I just hope that it will not ve only a gadget. I hope it will be something good to play with for a long time, not only a "toy".
