We've even got some technical details

When viewing games in 3D, 400 columns of pixels are dedicated to each eye.The 3DS features three cameras.

The technique is replica Longines L5.656.4.16.6 Men's Watch known as stereoscopy.The 3DS uses a technique called autostereoscopy to deliver 3D images without the use of glasses. The upper display of the 3DS features a parallax barrier, a thin layer of material featuring a series of precision slits. These slits allow each eye to see a different set of pixels, delivering the offset images without the use of filtering glasses.
