We here at Phandroid have been pretty intrigued by the developments in glasses-free 3D for mobile devices, but our content range has left one non-Android related device without much coverage: the Nintendo 3DS. A new Android app is giving us an excuse to talk about the new handheld gaming system, however, and its augmented reality gaming capabilities.
The aptly named 3DS AR Cards app packages the physical augmented reality generating cards that trigger interactive games into a digital form to be displayed on your Android phone’s screen. The result is the same: computer generated baddies pop out of real life surfaces, archery targets arise from kitchen countertops, and the 3DS tracks it all in real time. It sure beats hauling around stacks of cardstock.
The app is available for free in the Android Market. Sure, the handheld hasn’t launched just yet, but why not be prepared for the moment it does?

huh?
^^^^^^^^^^^what he said
^^^ ditto.
^^^^^^^ I concur.
After admitting that this hasn’t been covered here before, a bit of introductory explanation wouldn’t be out of place.
^^^^ Me too
I know what these are, just read the market link and it will make sense
same as first 6 posts…..
@7 i don’t wanna
I am at a complete loss, no idea what this article is about.

What did u say Ninja?
look its simple, the Nintendo 3ds hand held system (think an advanced game boy) uses cards that when you use the camera on the of 3ds on the cards you get an augmented reality game. this app uses ur screen of your android in place of the cards
Ahhh, thanks 7yrs
HUH?
soooo… this is pointless. gotcha.
Ok. Nintendo fan has kome to the resque.
The 3DS kan basically use it’s camera to make a game using a special kard. Kinda like the Nexus S using those kard things to look up stuff. The 3DS uses the same thing to make animations. So the 3DS camera focuses on the kard, and you can literally make a game on the screen play.
There is an Android app that basically makes these cards on your phone, so you don’t have to take these cards around with you. You just basically generate the cards on your phone.
The little games the 3DS makes are just little mini games, and nothing real severe, but still pretty cool.
And here I am sitting on an Iphone and can’t play. I might blog about this tomorrow. I have a blog dedicated to augmented reality games.
This is really silly. All you have to do is take pictures of the cards using the camera in your phone! Then display the picture on your phone, and the 3DS will see it as the AR card. I did this and it works fine. Only problem is, drains your phone battery.
